IQ is a copout as whole. There is nothing good that comes from trying to measure something as highly subjective as intelligence.

Great you're smart on paper, now what? Maybe you get easily frustrated, maybe you aren't very dedicated, maybe you don't like things that aren't inherently interesting, etc. etc.

Use something objectively measurable. Be scientific. Don't be a copout.
