I’m unsure how to respond to this - I explicitly did not dismiss iq, but the testing. If the testing has any bias then the results of the testing are not comparable between people.
The net effect of this is that any system that has attempted to make “unbiased” choices based on IQ tests as an objective measure have resulted in systems that favour those biases.
I don’t deny that people have an “IQ”, “g-factor”, “ISDN”, or whatever. It is very clear that some people are smarter than others[1]. But the biased testing renders is useless for any outside of an individual.
[1] to be very clear, I’ve known plenty of otherwise “smart” people who have performed poorly, and vice versa. Generally results in life aren’t purely a result of anything innate.
