IQ is a basic tool that allows a quick interpretation of someone’s mental capacity. It’s like BMI. Yes, some edge cases don’t fit the general rule. However, if you have room temperature IQ, there’s a solid chance you’re dumber than a box of rocks.
No, studies on IQ have shown that the test design often assume something about the population taking the test. If you produce a test for British students in secondary school and give it to miners in Zimbabwe, then the miners will probably achieve way lower scores than is it expected. This is because the students are more used to taking tests. IQ tests have been used in this way to promote racist ideas, when the real problem is the methodology behind IQ tests.
There’s a whole book about this, “the mismeasure of man”, by Stephen Jay Gould.

“If you use the wrong test and get bad results it means the test is wrong.” No you dummy it means you don’t know how to test.
I’m sorry but the guy in OP is not a Zimbabwean miner. He’s a white ass man and therefore shouldn’t be affected by the pretend racistness of IQ test.
