What will happen if scientists proved that iq results are related to race and not individuals
I'm trying to understand if this is a serious thing

@berthaujuan I was thinking if people will think that it's legit to treat those races with low iq in a certain way, or will slavery be back .. I have many weird ideas

@moonthesolitary what races with low iq?

I don't know if this is still relevant but I think the first IQ tests were created in order to match the WASP type of person- White AngloSaxon Protestant- because they determined who was best fit to get into all those fancy universities of the USA's east coast. And of course we all know who the majority catered to back then.

It's rubbish. Your intelligence quotient is a measure of YOUR intelligence...usually inaccurate anyway, because test results are so easily skewed by factors like nervousness, sleep deprivation, hunger, fear of taking tests, age, and so on.
Since humans are of all races, and the intelligence quotient is a measure of each individual human's intelligence, measuring by race is simply rubbish.

@4meAndyou it's inaccurate by I think five points in any direction they said. That skew has already been accounted for and will be presented to you by a reputable test

@Jackaloftheazuresand I will give you some food for thought. My brother and I were measured for intelligence at the same time. My brother was 9 years old than I, and I believe I was about 8 years old at the time. My mother had a friend who was a school teacher who wanted to practice administering the test.
At age 8, I was in 3rd grade. Do you think the test measured accurately someone who was 17 years old, a senior in high school, and someone who was still learning how to read?

@4meAndyou Yes because it gave your relative intelligence, IQ is subject to change. It's all about reasoning ability and if you can mold your neural abilities you can change your number
