Do you believe in IQ?

TBRS1 said:
What is a person using the IQ score for?

If the score is used as a general predictor for one's future job related financial success, they tend to be fairly accurate for IQs below 100, but not at all reliable for IQs above 100 (where 100=average).

Also for IQs below 100, they are useful in determining what kind and how much services/aid is necessary.

Used as a means of judging a person, however, they are entirely useless.

IQ test results provide narcissistic supply to some people so I guess they have some usefulness in a very limited way.

I've known several brilliant people who were too dumb to come in out of the rain. :rolleyes:
