Remember also that IQ doesn't faithfully measure pure intelligence. It partly measures exposure to ways of thinking as well as general knowledge.I remember taking an IQ test when I was a kid where one of the questions was "What continent is Egypt in." I was indignant. The explanation I got is that knowledge is correlated to intelligence. But even when an IQ test poses a problem that you have to work out (which you'd think would measure intelligence), it's much easier to solve the problem if you've been exposed to similar problems many times before. |
