The problem is how people read or interpret what IQ is. The concept came from Alfred Binet in the early 1900s. It was not designed to test how smart you are but designed to test who would benefit from interaction and who could not. All of the tests following Binet's sought to extrapolate how well you could deal with being educated in a certain type of setting. There are still lingering concepts of difference and the value of certain type of abstract thinking over other types of abstract thinking. This pops up especially in weird ways with causal patterns in the ones that have more culture dependent variables. Things like direction of language in reading, visual abilities and other things all influence your score passively. The test and other tests developed in its vein attempt to derive a rate of learning by sampling behaviors, visual discrimination, pattern following ,motor behavior, and other things. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences was also meant to work in a similar way.You are actually not supposed to rely upon one test alone to figure things out. Diagnosticians often interpret them in line with other things too. The TONI is another test that attempts to acquire IQ solely through pattern recognition and assessing relations in shapes. I know many of these style tests are partially used to help identify things like placement in special education.

Why not just say IQ was made to spot retarded kids and is pretty good at that, not s much anything else

It's ok to be an atheist, no one on the internet cares.

But if you talk about it at all you are on the same level of a sperglord furry MRA truther.

Goons really dislike when people don't agree with what they consider normal.

Because it was not made for that. It is now used to find intellectual disabilities but that is sorta a use we found for it. Its original use came up when we had a very different view of human development. Things like fears of urbanization and food damaging human growth and things like that were still issues when it was developed.

is there like an inverse pascals wager where you decide if there is any form of higher power it probably cares more about you being a good person than getting the specific words and thoughts you have about it correct or it wasn't worth worshipping anyway so im going to spend that hour on a sunday blowing nazis away on wolfenstein/helping clear trees in the park?

cos if there isn't i'm calling dibs on this important philosophical thought

Is god powerful enough to create a person smarter than himself?

Also, everyone knows that Ancient Aliens are the origin of human life.
