because it is measuring something with some impact on person's life

you can train memorization

low IQ people are just worse at this

you can train your brain to be better at tasks

and it cannot be coached

your brain is like every other muscle in your body

even tho the brain isnt a muscle

but you know what i mean

it's like every other body part

you can get a bit better with a lifetime of practice yes but not much

you can train it, and it can become impotent

not a life time of practice

a few years

which is what school does

🤔

i like how magic was treated in the 'Black Company' series

if you can take someone with an iq of 80 and coach them to get a score of 160 I'm sure the scientific world would love to read the paper

especially if you're a kid, when your brain is malliable and most effective at training

but having done an IQ test, I can tell you it's not possible

again, you're using extreme examples

but if it was possible it should be possible in the extreme right

I'm not taking about bumping another 5 or 10 points

you cant double someone's IQ, sure

of course environment matters some

but i bet you can bump it up 10 points EZ

but if you genetically don't have the 160 iQ you can't get there from 100

so IQ isn't completely natural then, is it

If you can bump it up or down

I never said it was completely natural, maybe 60-80%

no, but if u can train the brain to do certain tasks better

and you can bump it up 10 points

it's not natural

yeh the studies i read estimate it at around 60

I never said it was 100% natural

it's 60-80% natural

no but you seem to be denying that schooling has no effect on IQ

whats 10 points between friends tho
