@haverjamarosi680 Exactly, to truly test intelligence they should get rid of all the knowledge based components of the tests.

That's just testing knowledge though, not intelligence. It would be pretty difficult to comprehensively test for all forms of knowledge that exist in the world anyway, but that's not a true measure of intelligence, only memory.

You'd be surprised. So many on the left are completely anti-science, believing that a human being can change their gender by chopping off their genitals and injecting hormones, or that someone's gender preferences are something they're born with, or that a baby in the womb is undeserving of life if its mother doesn't want it. Those on the left tend to be complete morons who lack all empathy and logic.

@Throefly Yep, people often confuse knowledge for intelligence.

@Throefly Memorization of facts is useless without the ability to apply them to something. While the speed with which someone attains and retains new information can be an indicator of intelligence, it's not one that any test currently accounts for and instead focuses on raw knowledge itself.

Personally, I think IQ tests are completely worthless, but not for any of the reasons stated. Rather, I think they're worthless because they don't accurately measure anyone's intelligence. A lot of the content of those tests is testing your knowledge, i.e. your memory, if you've even learned the things it's testing you on. While memory is very useful, it's not a true determinant in your intelligence. Although, even if they only tested your intelligence and not your memory, they still would have a very limited use and eventually might lead to another holocaust. So it might be better for society at large if we could get rid of such sorting methods entirely.
