ARE IQ TESTS REALLY SMART OR REALLY STUPID

About this episode

Great news everybody. I just found out that my IQ test results came back negative! I guess I've been worried all week for nothing. Unfortunately, IQ test results are often misunderstood, misinterpreted, over-interpreted, and over-hyped by many people. So yes, IQ and intelligence are really, really complicated.

  • Do IQ tests accurately measure intelligence?
  • Can IQ tests tell you if you're a genius?
  • Was Einstein's genius already there at birth?
  • Are IQ tests missing any important traits or abilities? 
  • Does intelligence contribute more to success than other factors? 
  • Do people who are illiterate lack intelligence?
  • In the past, why were women considered less intelligent than men?
  • Which animals have the largest brain and should they rule the planet? 
  • Do we inherit intelligence from our parents...is there an IQ gene? 
  • Is intelligence the same as having lots of information or knowledge?
  • Are online IQ tests accurate or just a scam?
  • Are there many people today who have an IQ greater than 160? 
  • Why will my Practically Perfect IQ Test NEVER EVER succeed?
