This isn't true at all. IQ isn't some magical catch-all measure of a person's intellectual ability, but it's not entirely total quackery either.

I suspect that academic success would be very strongly correlated with having a supportive home life, but IQ not so much. Maybe the gifted kids you refer to were the academically successful ones and not the high-IQ ones?

They once had me take one of those horoscopes and one part of it was a rorschach test. How is that not quakery.

Another part was to have me write a short text wich fair enough.

fill in mulltiple choise questions that were deliveratly obtuse and ambigous.

The only part that i would expect to corrrelaete with intelligence was when i had to memorize a string of numbers and repeat it after a while. But even then this is an ability you can train.

What's funny is I got an IQ test in 5th grade and absolutely nothing you listed was in mine

Don't know why you're trying to start shit with me but please go fuck yourself.

You are the one trying to start shit here. If you had a more nuanced response. In this case, an example would be descriving your experience. You would get a more nuanced response. See the other guy.

But im glat i touched a sore spot for you.

All I did was say I took an IQ test that didn't have any of the elements in yours. You came back calling me stupid.

Elaborate on how I started shit with you. Explain yourself. How the fuck do you envision yourself as being justified. How the fuck do you explain your perception of me starting shit with you.

Are you even sure you're talking to the right person? At least in this thread you didn't send me multiple paragraphs.
