The fact that there are people who are better performers, communicators, creators, producers, or whatever does not point to the viability of IQ as commonly conceived, nor is it evidence that there could be any single one dimensional scale constructed to measure whatever that quality is. In fact I suspect it’s multiple traits interacting in complex ways that make up the results we attribute to “intelligence”. The IQ test I have taken as part of a psychometric examination given to me to diagnose ADHD was an interesting experience but unless there are far deeper subjective meta-layers involved, the test itself measured lots of learned skills—including spatial reasoning, memorization, and of all things English vocabulary. There is no way the test that I took could be an unbiased measure of inborn potential.
