It is not how smart you are as more of how well you recieve knowlege and process it. You could be smarter than people who had a 200 IQ because they were to lazy to want to learn even though they have a greater capacity of recieving knowlege. |
It's not even that really. It's just more how in tune you are with United States culture (or wherever your from.)
Foreign people or people of a different culture (african americans for example) are going to just score lower because they assosiate things differently.
So it's really only a good indicator for the "mainline" person of the population, and even then it doesn't factor in things like effort.
Lots of people with high IQ's don't actually amount to much of anything.
At least the proffesional ones are reweighteed year to year though.
