[quote=Anonymous]We don't know if IQ is a measure of innate ability -- as Terman discovered, it not infrequently misses the folks who turn out to be considered geniuses. And, of course, at this point IQ is only measured after experience has clearly already shaped minds/abilities -- we don't have ways of measuring it in the womb or at birth or at by looking at DNA. We also know that IQ test results at some ages have a limited ability to predict IQ test results at other ages (which shouldn't be the case if they accurately assess something innate and static). IQ isn't a thing -- it's a test result. Whether IQ tests actually measure what we want to measure (and, frankly, whether we even agree what should be measured) and what form that thing exists in are tricky questions. [/quote]
