IQ is meaningless and scientifically dodgy. Its origins are in eugenics and race 'science'. There is no one specific and agreed way to study human intelligence, and much of IQ testing relies on very specific tests that are not universal measurements of human intellect. They require context, and abstract, mathematical, and geometrical reasoning. They do not test a range of other important personal and societal skills, and pre-suppose a highly Eurocentric 20th century perspective on 'intellect' as universal. Also - you can develop your IQ score through learning, education, and experience; and you can take an IQ on different days and get very different results that also depend on your current emotional state, fatigue, etc.
