That guy seems to put an awful lot of stock in a test that can only correctly identify whether or not you're developmentally disabled.
"Congratulations on your high IQ! You're REALLY REALLY NOT developmentally disabled!"
Outside of identifying developmental disabilities, IQ testing is pretty useless. What's more loathsome is all of the pseudoscience that's crept up through overinterpretation.

- gmarx 10y agoThat's the kind of thing laymen always say. Whenever I read reports of what the social scientists say it sounds like intelligence testing is one of the few sub fields with consistently reproducible and meaningful results. Even in this short article they contradict your point by stating the military finds it correlates with success. The military filters out those with developmental disabilities.
