Yeah, could be. That's the appeal of the IQ test in the first place. If we do have a reasonably accurate way of measuring intelligence, then we can use that data and try and determine variables or factors that can affect intelligence.

Yeah. I'm from a family of six kids, Catholic, go figure. I like to say my mother had three ways of helping me with my homework. First, she tried yelling at me, then she tried screaming at me, and then she tried shrieking at me, and then she was totally out of ideas.

If we don't have a measure of intelligence, at least in general, how can we tell if things are making us smarter or dumber?

Absolutely. And it's helpful to know if, say, an aging person is starting to lose their intelligence and what can be done to reduce that decline. Also, how can we ensure that every school kid has the best opportunity to learn and succeed? How can we identify students who need extra assistance to achieve their potential?

The standard testing, which from what I remember of George W. Bush's presidency, he may have done a little paste eating himself. OK, politics aside, look, the fact of the matter is no child left behind had good intentions, but became deeply unpopular.

Yeah. And by the way, this doesn't mean that IQ tests are completely useless either. They still have some value. An IQ test can illustrate that someone, for instance, has difficulty with pattern recognition or word association. We're not saying that they aren't intelligent, but we can identify areas for improvement.
