[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IQ tests, like race (self report or labels) in American, are concepts simply conjured for sociopolitical means.  There is no scientific evidence-base underpinning these concepts.  [/quote]

Where do people come up with this stuff?  The validity and replicability of IQ studies in psychology is well documented.  Massive numbers, replicable results.  [b]IQ has been demonstrated to predict any number of positive outcomes,[/b] from crime, job performance, out of wedlock birth rates etc.  People hate the message, but the proof is overwhelming.[/quote]

Tell that to the folks who received mail from the Harvard-educated unabomber.  IQ is one attribute of many that can be a predictor of success, but there are so many other qualities that come into the picture.  There are also tons of brilliant people who lack social skills, drive, whatever and as a result never rise as high as IQ test results might have predicted.  An IQ score is one piece of a puzzle.
