IQ is a number assigned by a test. A test that measures some items of human cognitive ability but not all. I have a daughter who is truly a genius. She wouldn't score so well on an IQ test. I have two other children that are two to four standard deviations above the mean but I don't consider them to be genius.

IQ really predicts the performance someone will show at a university. It is a goofy, flawed, and grossly overused measurement. I would prefer people stop talking about IQ altogether. It isn't really a great measure of intelligence.
