IQ tests are ridiculous and unscientific. Comparing cross-species capacity has no point or relevance or i'm not sure why you did it.

Comparing humans to other humans, as I suggested, is flawed as well. If you go by "ability to do something well-paid" like coding, then you have the definition SV gives to intelligence. However made of these individuals are completely lacking in social/artistic/humor and other forms of intelligence.

Like I said, intelligence is not a single thing, and if it was it would be impossible to accurately measure.

I've killed enough SV sacred cows for one post, go ahead with your downvoting.
