IQ is a poor way of measuring intelligence.
can you say anything else to bolster this, or is this just a dumbass comment.

FROM SOME SITE

There are some, however, who claim that it is invalid to simply assign an arbitrary number to intelligence. They say that there are many aspects of intelligence and that not all of these can be quantified. Further, because IQ tests do not measure all aspects of intelligence, but require being proficient in other aspects of intelligence to receive a good score, they may yield inaccurate results. For example, they may show that a child is mentally retarded when they simply have a hard time understanding the format of the test.

Intelligence tests are often criticized for being biased. Some say that white, affluent Americans do better on IQ tests than the average African American or Latino because the tests were designed by the affluent, so it is this group that understands the best. The tests might use a certain type of language, or tape into cultural experience that minorities simply do not have.

Others say that thee is no bias in the tests themselves, but there is bias in the way the results are used. IQ test scores would make it appear that African Americans are somehow genetically less intelligent than whites. This is not true, but one could infer that from the tests. Rather, it is likely that income and/or opportunities for education have much more of an effect on this phenomena than simple genes. He have documented, for example, that IQ scores among African Americans have risen significantly as their economic situation relative to whites has improved.
