The Problem with Intelligence Tests

Posted on July 26, 2014July 26, 2014 by John Nash

The Problem with Intelligence (IQ) Tests is that at the most optimistic outcome they are only useful predictors of intelligence levels up to a little less than that of those who wrote the test. If merely average people, say with an IQ of around 130*, write the test then those more intelligent, say IQ around 160-180 will appear to be stupid unless they modify their answers to accommodate the lower intellectual capacity and hubris of those who wrote the test.

 

*Yes, I am well aware that 130 is supposedly genius level. However, most everyone can score around 120, so in my humble opinion 130 is nothing special.
