    Basically any study like that that seriously considers IQ as a scientifically measurable value isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

    IQ hasn’t been proven to predict anything real.

      It may not be accurate as an absolute meaure, but it does successfully measure relative intelligence across groups.

      Or maybe it’s just a knee jerk reaction to trash evidence that goes against your existing opinion.

        The thing that IQs measure has never been shown.

        Intelligence is defined as the thing that intelligence tests are measuring. It’s a scientific tautology!
