It doesn't prove any point. If you give a monkey a test on how to breathe underwater it's going to fail. If you give a fish a test on climbing trees it would fail. IQ is just a score applied to how well someone does with western tasks. It's entirely irrelevant.

Because it's never cited that way. It's an intelligence test. The IQ stands for "Intelligence Quotient" It has nothing to do with intelligence to integrate with a society. Stefan is using it to measure brain power despite it not actually representing that.

Brains are a nice piece of meat. It would be great if we understood more about it instead of breathlessly defending old ways of thinking.

Literally all of humanity. You think we understand everything about the brain, or only you understand everything about it?

My fundamental point is that IQ is irrelevant. It's not a test of intelligence. Because we can't just measure intelligence. We can't quantify that yet. It measured western intelligence. And other races and groups aren't western. Correlation isn't causation.

It doesn't measure western intelligence. It measures the ability to perform mental tasks valued by western culture. Very different thing.

Riiight because only Western cultures value pattern recognition and basic reasoning.

Nope. I never said, or even implied, that. Unfortunately, the previous poster has me blocked, so I can't see the full context, but I was moving towards showing how these "western" values are almost universal.
