    Agreed. Doing well on any test just proves that you’re good at taking a test. Intelligence is measured by far many variables then test taking. Nevermind that test scores can be raised by coaching and practice. If the IQ test were a true indicator of intellect the score would be fixed each and every time it is taken regardless of outside influences.

      This is the case with professional IQ tests. They’re among the most repeatable measures in the entire field of psychology.
