What is the scientific consensus on IQ?

My penis is 6 inches and I'm very satisfied.

It's a tool to roughly estimate one's efficiency in understanding and solving problems in science.
However, many people use it to estimate one's actual skills, knowledge or absolute limits in what he can ever archive. That's not how it works.

1. There are multiple types of IQ tests
2. They're all over the place
3. Some are controversial
4. Even the generally accepted tests are fallacious as they give equal weight to inductive, abductive and deductive reasoning

Why did you have to make the lurkers uncomfortable?

not like you would know

nice quads

thanks bae

Animals are more competent at certain tasks than the average human, and yet you wouldn't say that an animal is smarter than even a dumb human.

Just shows how far IQ tests have to go before being credible.

>1. There are multiple types of IQ tests
True. Raven's Progressive Matrices are the most objective and culture fair tests in my opinion.
>2. They're all over the place
Yeah, because they are quite good.
>3. Some are controversial
Many depends on language skills and are "normalized" in a way to prevent them from showing differences in race and gender. That's why I think RPMs are good.
>4. Even the generally accepted tests are fallacious as they give equal weight to inductive, abductive and deductive reasoning
Why fallacious? These skills correspond with one's efficiency in understanding and solving problems in science.

IQ are so common because they are credible. As I said they don't show how skilled or competent you are. There are other tests to test that.
