    IQ is, of course, bunkum, and only dorks take it seriously as a measure of anything but your skill at taking IQ tests.

      Nice IQ you got there... be a shame if someone forced you into a situation that required skillsets outside of capitalist demands.

        Or just put you in a situation where access to food is precarious. IQ is heavily tied to nutrition.

        When I took the sample it was testing pattern recognition on sets. It required spacial recognition, 1st grade math, and working memory. The working memory component is the grueling aspect since it's a timed test. Feinman was like a 130 guy and people consider him a genius. That's not genius level according to the test. On the otherhand the things they are testing for are clearly useful in all math and sciences. Those are universally useful. However, it does not test emotional, artistic, physical, or social intelligence. It's really limited which tests like this should be but it claims to be some kind of universal intelligence test. We have specialized testing for this reason (LSAT, MCATS, GRE/GMAT).

      Majority of supposedly high IQ people do nothing of value to contribute to the world lol. All the smart famous guys just happened to have a high IQ rarely mentioned it, if at all
