Wasn't the IQ test as we know it today deveolped by a french psychologist Alfred Binet about 15 years before the nazi party even existed?
If we're going to criticize IQ as a metric of intelligence measurement can we at least be intellectually honest and leave the hitler card out of it?
Yes people did and still do use things like IQ to tout racial superioriry that in and of itself dosent discredit entirely any usefulness that we can glean from such studies.
The US military has since WW1 used it to determine placment of soldiers in different programs differentiating potential officer material, from grunt material quite effectively.
There is certainly something to IQ though.I wouldn't claim that's all there is by any means. There is simply too much we don't know about human cognition and psychology to make claims like that.
Was that meant to be directed at me? I did not say the Hitler thing, and I added that it isn't even worthy of researching because an IQ test is still a good measure of how someone is at an IQ test, regardless of its inventor.
No @son-of-satire.
@mmaartmartial threw the hitler card.
That non argument has gotten so boring it has nearly the same meaning as racist or misogynist* these days.
I tend to agree with your stance on this topic.
