    Skimming through this post, people actually believe in IQ?

    IQ is not a good measurement of intelligence. It is at best one single measurement of pattern recognition, and it is not set in stone either, as you can get better or worse at it.

    There’s multiple types of intelligence it doesn’t measure and honestly, I don’t believe anyone should take it serious.

      I feel like this is the best take. IQ is an antiquated and outmoded way of measuring specific standards like spatial aptitude and logic. They’re definitely things that can indicate a “smart person” but are only two out of dozens of aspects that make up human intelligence.
