thats because iq is a social construct in clown world, and not an actual function of intelligence. It’s a flawed test based on socioeconomic conditions. In clown world.

One thing I've noticed is in clown world "What is an intelligent person?" doesn't seem to have an answer anymore. It used to be simple. Does the person know a lot, and can solve and get the right answers for a lot of problems? Then yes.

I think there is one part of this that knowledge is easily reachable for literally anyone that can hold it in their head. It'd be like comparing someone who could do multiplication before calculators with almost anyone who can do it after calculators.

Seems that the current tests for intelligence are can you socially outwit others? Can you mentally rise to leadership positions / roles? Real ones, not secretarial ones (ie a scrum leader). Can you get the right conclusions when dealing with our political issues that are meant to deceive people? Then also the hardcore sciences. Can you do them at all if you try? Then I guess being the top in any field ie music, arts, etc.

They’ve conflated education with intelligence anymore. At the same time, they’ve undermined and redefined actual education to where all it really is, is indoctrination and memorization of “facts” (or lies) depending on the subject in question.

But the idea of taking knowledge (facts as you know them) and applying them in order to solve a problem (wisdom) is almost unheard of.

In any case, this is why we have so many “educated”, but stupid, people in society these days. They’ve been told they’re smart because they’re “educated”, so they carry an arrogance that is unwarranted and unearned. They’re not smart enough to know how much they don’t know.

I know plenty of folks who didn’t go to college and are more intelligent than a lot of grad students. I’m sure you all do, too.

I’ve come to view common sense as the real measure of intelligence anymore.
