I always find it bizarre the consistent need for a certain types of people to believe IQ tests are not real.
It's pretty much conspiracy sort of stuff.
A. It's quite a stretch that a whole scientific community can't create a test for IQ and get past the tired issues brought up 50+ years ago.
B. The concept brains unlike heights, hair, body shape etc etc etc are all the same is pretty ludicrous.
There is lots of stuff on the Flynn effect, I'm sure people can google it for themselves. But at the end of the day why is it so strange a test given to people in the 1960s scores differently for people in the 2010s. It is such a strawperson argument.
IQ's about relativity and ability in the current environment.
