Wow you wrote a lot of nonsense. “IQ” tests are BS. The tests were sold to companies in the 50s to address the changing employment needs (more computing / logical / spatial awareness, than previous posts) and science - proper science - has moved on way past the concept of IQ. There are many different branches of IQ that one single test doesn’t address.
I’m reading what you’re writing as saying IQ tests should not be taken seriously but it also sounds like you’re disagreeing with me for writing that I think IQ tests are a garbage concept that someone would be inclined to buy into if they’re overly insecure and want a shortcut to claim that they’re “smart”. What did I write that you actually disagree with?
I was replying to a comment wondering how people can take them seriously and I was trying to imagine what could lead a person to entirely avoid looking at the very obvious reasons why iq tests should not be treated seriously. It feels like you’re condescending to me while holding the same opinion I have.
