Ever see a Beautiful Mind? I think the potential for intillectual greatness is in anyone, but for some its hard to understand because thier minds are so different from the rest.

And yes, I am saying that the only thing a test can test is how good you are at taking that test. Its true. That is the only tangible thing it can measure. And for somethings mathematics, you can get a geneal idea of what they know in math, but what is IQ? Can someone define it please. The only thing measuring it is these tests. Whats the value in a high IQ? I bet people could create tests that certain people with mental "illnesses" would score higher than everyone else. We could call it a BQG test. What is BQG? I have no idea, I jsut made it up. But whatever it is, its just as important as an IQ.
