9 and counting.

The IQ test is daft for other reasons as well.

On the question of whether or not the IQ test is daft, it is important to ask what you are using it for. It has shown to be a reasonably good predictor of things like job and academic performance. Please explain your opinion on the subject.

High IQs do not guarantee anything by themselves.

Slick KKKlintler has an IQ in the 180 range; it doesn't help his being a psychopath.

Richard Dawkins has an IQ in the same range. He's likely to discover that a 180 IQ is a sort of a limited asset when it's 5700 degrees F in the room and your ass is turning on a spit.

I mean, give Charles Manson or Paul Bernardo a 180 IQ and you've basically got SlicKKK KKKlintler; that's all SlicKKK ever was.

No, IQ doesn't guarantee anything. It does suggest things. Being tall doesn't guarantee that your good at basketball, but that doesn't mean I won't pick the giant before the short kid.

Further, you seem to be trying to make the assertion that IQ claims to indicate some sort of moral compass. IQ is simply a very narrow indicator of an individuals problem-solving and cognitive abilities.
