Is IQ not but a subjective list of attributes to test for that are culturally dependent?

If Native Americans had an IQ test it might encompass being able to navigate and understand geography, weather, and animal and plant behavior without being aided by tools. In that case, most of us would qualify as handicapable and be sorted out by primitive career matching into nothing more than offerings to nature and the cycle of life.

I think by definition the more stable and ingrained globalized culture becomes… the more likely we will select and refine for the attributes it requires to succeed. And by this virtue, we’ve made a self-fulfilling prophecy.
