so like i have all the cultural, neurodivergent, and educational advantages on an IQ test and thus score extremely high. because the test was made for people like me, of course i do well.
but the body of scientific research on the topic of testing for intelligence, shows there is very little correlation with IQ tests and intellect. they do tend to be very good predictors of autism in white boys esp for the example.
those are just the facts. sorry.
fun fact, the SAT was designed to be racist, and the Bar test has no relationship to the skill or success of a lawyer either. so like standardized testing has very little impact on outcomes, and is a generally a poor predictor of results. again, this is scientific consensus.

Well, if "the body of scientific research" actually says what you think it says, the definition above would not be the most widely accepted definition of IQ. The "fun fact" is that this definition is still the most widely accepted view. Just because you don't like a definition does not render that definition false.
I am aware of a few fringe studies by leftist zealots who have written flawed papers on this subject attempting to redefine IQ but they have been thoroughly debunked. The fly in the ointment that falsifies your view is mostly Asian immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and India. They come to this country from very different cultures, very different life experience, different color skin, different language, different educational experiences, and immediately falsify these IQ studies while reinforcing the prevailing view as quoted above.
Regarding SAT scores, these Asian kids further destroy the false narrative by Leftist zealots by routinely scoring at the very top of these standardized tests with exactly zero white privilege, foreign culture, low economic status, english as a second language. They then get victimized by the racist DEI squad and their excellent SAT scores are devalued because they "score too high" and are the wrong skin color. Why do these Asian kids routinely score so highly on SAT scores? Their parents value education and they were studying hard for the tests while others were out hanging with friends.
Both Coleman Hughes and Dr. Thomas Sowell have looked at these questions in depth and have shown that the "white privilege" DEI narrative paraded by leftist academics is patently false. I encourage you read their works and decide for yourself if they have merit.
Protip: They do. They are at the forefront of these questions of standardized testing vs race and they clearly show that "racial bias" is a load of nonsense.
