it's still not clear what IQ measures, in the grand scheme of things. and i think this is the bulk of its problem. what sort of intelligence? relevant for what? unfortunately, the laziest among us who see these standardize tests are easy way to do their job embraced it wholeheartedly and have deployed it wickedly. at what point should an IQ test be taken? and what's its expiry date? mr. cipolla wrote his seminal basic laws of human stupidity[0] some 70 years after IQ tests were introduced. perhaps not important in the grand scheme of things but one wonders why there's not even as much as a mere allusion.
