David Galbraith makes a compelling case against IQ testing, senses that the debate over nature vs nurture in developmental psychology is about to flare up again. But no one questions the underlying dogma of IQ of course. “Is it time to call bullshit on IQ tests?” Yes, it’s well overdue.

Perhaps people who really believe in IQ tests, like the subset of people that on getting a high score, decide to join the club of mental mediocrity - MENSA, probably aren’t particularly intelligent.

IQ tests remain one of the top ten myths that are propagated for the benefit of the elite and their continued hegemony. A great lie if you will, right up there with gold, diamonds, just / discrete war theory, the post-Freudian cult of the self etc.
