It seems to me, then, that your primary objection is not that IQ scores are inaccurate, but that intelligence shouldn't be measured in the first place?
Which makes me think that you don't want anyone doing research into whether human intelligence is changing at all.
- MidnightRider39 7mo agoNo I think that our tools to measure and our definition of intelligence are lacking and are causing more problems than actually helping with anything. Or can you point to any obvious improvements that result from having measured “intelligence” for the last 100+ years? When my grandpa was a kid they would measure your skull and decide if you are smart or a subhuman based on that. Makes about as much sense as our current IQ tests…
