IQ is generally bullshit. It tests how well people can take specific tests, it doesn't correspond to actual intelligence, and people are far closer in that regard than they like to imagine.

Sure, it's a tested metric, I misspoke. That doesn't change that IQ is bullshit.

Never argued it isn't bullshit...

Sure, and I acknowledged that I misspoke, but it's hardly an important part of my point.
