IQ is used by gene freaks to claim being inherently better but it's not really anything to do with innate ability. IQ scores can be improved with practicing IQ tests like anything else. The problem is really the idea of even measuring "intelligence". What is that? It depends entirely on who you're talking to what intelligence means because intelligence itself is tied to ideology. Any liberal will tell you everyone on Hexbear is not intelligent because we come up with answers that aren't idealism, whereas some sort of marxist take on intelligence might be your capability to analyse things in a material way.
It's a useless metric while everyone has a different take on what intelligence is. People here could score very highly on IQ tests and yet a liberal will still say we're unintelligent. The concept itself is bad.
