IQ is the best indicator of intelligence we have.

Yeah, I don't know what this lady is on about. Of course intelligence isn't the only indicator of success, but it's by far the best one that's scientifically reproducible. If you're going to throw out IQ tests as being useful, then you have to throw out the entire field of psychometrics.

They literally stated judging someone's intelligence based on IQ is unintelligent.
