I've ranted about this before, but the concept of testing for intelligence is an antiquated, imprecise, and arbitrary system. It has its roots in the eugenics movement and has hardly progressed since.
IQ involves an oversimplification of "intelligence" (an already very vague term) that predicts a very specific function. Further, it attempts to quantify something that is unquantifiable, as if intelligence can be graphed on a numerical hierarchy.
And we already know that I'm the smartest man alive, so what's the point?
Is your IQ important to you?
