I don't particularly remember many people saying that. I think they were all up their asses about iq.
Ah, yes, that all meaning number that represents your ability to exceed at very specific and biased tasks. Love it
I don't think they're too bad, but than again I did score 1st.
The problem, I'd say, is that they measure primarily geometric and rational reasoning ability.
But in practice, you need much more than that. You need empathy, a good intuition for nature, life experience, human connections, extensive education, and the right environment to use these abilities. None of which is easy to measure.
There was a lot of talk about how being able to access any information would drastically increase the average knowledge base, which could possibly increase IQ.
is has increased intelligence, in countries where they didn’t also gut the schools….
