Given that we are multi-dimensional beings who operate on different levels of intelligence simultaneously, the IQ test, as a means of testing OVERALL intelligence, is complete tripe
In testing the level of conceptual/analytical intelligence, then perhaps - but we operate at varying degrees simultaneously, consciously or unconsciousloy, on the levels of physical intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, somatic intelligence, psychic intelligence, mythic intelligence and spiritual intelligence; to use the Leary-RAW-Alli 8 Circuit brain model, which was correlated out of several ancient and modern neurological scripts.
As Gurdjieff would say, some people are conceptual adepts but are physical idiots, some are social and emotional geniuses but conceptual fools.
The IQ test and its place in our society and the faith that the institutions have that it posits a veritable significator of a person's 'overall' intelligence is a perfect example of just how split our civilisation is, and just how overrun our culture is with the sort of tremendous intellectual arrogance that continues to perpetuate the collective mind-body schizm.
If people could be taught about the intellect and it's place in the makeup of a human being then it could be properly integrated and not abused in such a way as it is today.
