Comment on I Quit

Yep. No such thing as an IQ, so there’s no way to test for it. I mean, I could test for intelligence on whether or not someone is a socialist, but then people would immediately start objecting—which proves my point haha.

So IQ tests are based on political ideology?

What? No, I was making a point about arbitrary measures of intelligence.

Isn’t IQ based on problem solving or something? Is it really as arbitrary as political ideals? I’ve heard it’s racist, and I’m totally willing to accept that, but I currently have no clue how that would be possible.

Intelligence is not something that can be quantified in any way whatsoever, and I would consider any IQ test to be fully arbitrary—so the answer is yes. I’m sure there’s some problem solving component.
If you ever want evidence of IQ being bullshit, I have a super genius IQ. It’s like 666 standard deviations above the mean. Talk to anyone who has ever talked to me and they will very quickly disagree! 😂
