IQ tests are stupid and have large language components to them. The large language components of the tests mean they essentially boil down to culture tests. If your parents were in the in group, you speak scientistese.

Your in group membership is what propels you forward in your career, not your intelligence. Race and Gender are predictors of career success as well.

Any proponent of IQ, I'd challenge to take an IQ test in Chinese, Irish, or AAVE.

If you were trying to get a job in a Chinese workplace with chinese coworkers that spoke chinese, taking a chinese IQ test would be a great predictor of success in that group. Doesn't mean you'res 'stupid', but my giant english IQ would be useless reading docs and taking meetings if they were all or majority in chinese.

This is largely a myth.

What about tests that only use patterns/shapes/rotation/etc?
