IQ tests are a joke. The purpose of an IQ test is to convince everyone that they have an above average IQ, which means they are “smarter than average”.
Once you convince stupid people that they are actually smart, they tend to identify as liberals.
And then these liberals assume anyone who doesn’t see the world the way they see the world must be stupid, crazy, or sadly uneducated and ill-informed.
I was actually saying the opposite. IQ tests scores are artificially inflated, to the point where everyone has a triple-digit IQ, my own included. Everyone i know is smarter than me.
mine was done by professionals, during a court-ordered psychological exam, while i was locked up. their conclusion was that i should be incarcerated long-term, or else i would become a quote, "master criminal". i won't say what my IQ measured, but it seemed rather inflated to me. fortunately the judge was lenient, and i turned my life around...
but anyway, i'm very skeptical of their professional assessment, given that I'm usually the dumbest person in the room, unless i happen to be hanging out with you... ;-)
Having a high IQ doesn't make you a liberal. Plenty of people with high IQs are liberty-loving patriots. But going to a liberal college (most of them), where you're indoctrinated by lying Marxists for four years, might make you a liberal.

You are correct about IQ tests. They are BS today.
Good story about my dad.
He was given an IQ test when he was in elementary school. Scored 145.
He dropped out of school in 8th grade.
Joined navy when he was 16.
He scored as high as you could on initial test. Corporations took notice.
Exxon offered him full school, room and board as well as a stipend for food and fun.
My dad turned it down. Said, why woukd i go to work for this company when i can make one myself.
Btw, he took the navy IQ test and scored 160.
He was not a functioning autist, but i can tell you this. He had a full rolodex, but never used it. He had every name, adress and number memorized.
When beepers came out, he required me to memorize every customer name and number.
People with over 140 IQ are rare and they are amazing.
A lot of people walking around today that think they are smarter than they are.
Probably a part of our problem.
