IQ test are rigged to boost the egos of the affluent among Western societies.

Do you know what a regatta is? I bet you don't.

If not, then you'll probably only score roughly average on an IQ test.

This is the way IQ test are rigged the make the wealthy appear more intelligent.

Dumb. We know IQ/g measures "intelligence" because it correlates with other proxies for intelligence - like peer rated intelligence, scores on standardized tests, etc. It's also the most powerful predictor for life outcomes that exists in the social sciences

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

The practical validity of g as a predictor of educational, economic, and social outcomes is more far-ranging and universal than that of any other known psychological variable. The validity of g increases as the complexity of the measured task increases

The predictive validity of g is most conspicuous in the domain of scholastic performance. This is apparently because g is closely linked to the ability to learn novel material and understand concepts and meanings.

There is a high correlation of .90 to .95 between the prestige rankings of occupations, as rated by the general population, and the average general intelligence scores of people employed in each occupation.

Research indicates that tests of g are the best single predictors of job performance, with an average validity coefficient of .55 across several meta-analyses of studies based on supervisor ratings and job samples. The average meta-analytic validity coefficient for performance in job training is .63.[94] The validity of g in the highest complexity jobs (professional, scientific, and upper management jobs) has been found to be greater than in the lowest complexity jobs, but g has predictive validity even for the simplest jobs.

And the list goes on. Easily disprovable copes on IQ are not going to save you here. Your "regatta" thing is at least as stupid. You'll have to try a little harder

Do you know what crystallized intelligence is? Because that's what your question falls under. Fluid intelligence is what an IQ test measures. Try looking at Raven's Progressive Matrices for an example of how fluid is quantified.

So now we're addressing the nuances of the intelligence spectrum?

These are mental gymnastics that are devised, so some people can say they are smarter that others, or whatever.

The idea of measuring actual intelligence it's about as legitimate, as measuring a person's personality.

The social sciences are garbage.

I bet fewer Africans believe the covid hoax is deadly and existential threat

I bet fewer Africans believe what they see on TV.

Does that make them smarter?

It would be fairly easy for the "social sciences" to measure.

You are the silliest troll.

Going the ad hominem route, eh?

The "racial differences" tribalists have a long history of ad homenim retreats and defeats.

You got the regatta thing from the SATs in the 90s. IQ tests are nothing close to SAT questions

IQ have an extremely high G factor whereas those old SATs tested crystalized knowledge

The regatta question came directly from an IQ test.

No it did not. It came directly from an SAT you mongoloid. First result on Goog

I don't care what Google says.

I've personally seen it on the IQ test. I can't prove it, but I'm fine with that.

Also, it's interesting that they frame the context of that as cultural, rather than economic.

Only the wealthy (any race) go eat caviar and watch the sailboats race at the regatta. Everyone else has to go to work assuming they still have a job (White, black, etc.).

Also, you're not proving economic bias doesn't exist on the IQ test.

The goal of the race war bullshit is to distract from the very real class war. We're in a fucking depression, and you want to argue about how whites are under attack.

In case you didn't notice... EVERYONE IS UNDER ECONOMIC ATTACK BRO!!!.

WTF!

You're a lying son of a bitch. Do you even know what an IQ test is? Have you ever seen an IQ test? IQ tests have shapes and patterns not words you retard. There are some experimental and debunked IQ tests that use vocab works but no one takes those seriously especially in an online discussion.

I'm a White man. I'm not into the whole race war stuff. The problem is non-whites are dragging us into it. The riots were caused by blacks when I just want to live in peace. Everywhere I go, every company I apply to has sustained pressure of NGOs and Gov agencies to hire brown people over me even though I'm better at the job. These people are literally oppressing me
