The problem, I’d say, is that they measure primarily geometric and rational reasoning ability.
But in practice, you need much more than that. You need empathy, a good intuition for nature, life experience, human connections, extensive education, and the right environment to use these abilities. None of which is easy to measure.
There was a lot of talk about how being able to access any information would drastically increase the average knowledge base, which could possibly increase IQ.
I don’t particularly remember many people saying that. I think they were all up their asses about iq.
Ah, yes, that all meaning number that represents your ability to exceed at very specific and biased tasks. Love it
