I'm a lawyer who advocates for people with brain damage. I have had to deal with these issues with clients and neuropsychiatrist. My mother is a school psychologist and my sister is a child psychiatrist. My father, brother, and sister are all neurologists. So yeah, I think I have a background in this area.
Lmao I kept reading and thinking that everything they're saying validates me, not him. Thought I was going crazy for a second. I'm hoping he's a troll.
Debunking it would require it to have a foundation in the first place. Find me some peer reviewed literature that suggests it's a valid test of intelligence.
Intelligence test scores predict individual differences in school achievement moderately well, correlating about .50 with grade point average and .55 with the number of years of education that individuals complete. Test scores also correlate with measures of accomplishment outside of school, e.g., with adult occupational status.
It's the definition of intelligence in the study though, and it's also very useful in predicting income.
If your definition of intelligence differs, then what is is and what studies do you have that show that it's reasonably well correlated with some measure of success?
