What would happen if a country used IQ to validate political positions?
e.g. having a test of some sort that is a requirement for taking certain levels of office (assuming that there would be a fair way to do this without fraud and bias)

IQ is kinda useless, but then you'll have people like that one woman who ate semen everyday for a year to boost her IQ to become supreme leader.
It would require people to actually listen and comprehend things, but of course supperiority complexes and eventual corruption would eventually ruin it anyway.

@SwarmSona I never said anything about money or power ... you did . However if I was given a choice between intelligence or ignorance as a model to follow ... I’m going with intelligence . History has proven that smart people have a better chance of financial success than someone less fortunate mentally . Anyone that has a job where they are successful obviously believes they deserve to be there, because they’ve proven it time and again . It seems you’re saying that people who are intelligent and have improved their lot in life as a result don’t deserve it . Liberal BS never changes 🙄

@TexChik You didn't mention money or power but my original statement did since that was apart of the corruption I was referring to that you "pfft" at. That's why I simply asked a few clarifying questions.
To say that an elected official who's only merit is how high they can score on a test that only tests a certain type of "intelligence", and I'm using qoutes because IQ tests weren't designed to do that, deserves anything is a bit questionable. And the type of corruption that I was once again referring to is these officials then bypassing the Democratic process to keep their positions indefinitely. They could as an example do this by raising the IQ limits to impossible numbers and/or manipulating other factors. Then use the IQ system as a cover up. This could easily be lead to a IQ classification policies for all citizens going beyond just elected officials. If your IQ is too low no matter how hard you work or qualified you become you could start to be boxed into certain areas or jobs.
To say that I think people that are intelligent and have worked hard in general don't deserve their life is clearly retarded. I was talking about corrupt politicians clearly.
