re: #103 Vicious Babushka

The kind of logic puzzles that end up on IQ tests correlate well with ordinary day to day puzzles seen in most occupations in a modern society. This is a sufficient explanation for the correlation between IQ test scores and success that the IQ crowd blathers on and on about. No appeal to ‘intelligence’ is needed here.

The appropriate IQ test (i.e., a test that would correlate with success) for living in a stone age jungle tribe would clearly be very different than our IQ tests. This neatly disposes of the idea that the IQ test measures anything of universal human significance.
