IQ is the most supported concept in all of psychology/sociology.

Absolutely false. (Other forms of intelligence are also measured and studied today. You can easily read about it.) I also did not "reject IQ". It's one measurement of one kind of intelligence test that tells us about one kind of intelligence. It's that simple. Why do you think 5 points will matter so much on this test? Mensa members are also not interested in this 5 point difference. They take much more seriously differences of 30 points or higher. If for example you have an IQ of 110, or of 125, your intelligence is relatively similar in both cases. If however you test at 135 or higher, this is recognized as reasonably above average.

Moreover, your insults indicate that you could have lower than average IQ, according to research on name-calling and bullying. Perhaps you should be removed from the gene pool? (People who disagree with you, and provide good evidence of that agreement aren't liars or anti-white or scum bags. Only low IQ people would think this.

I would love to read about it.

Oh you mean Howard Gardner's "multiple intelligences" theory. This is a good write up on it:

https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/multiple-intelligences-emotional-intelligence-creativity-and-g/

Here are some highlights from the article:

Gardner admitted that “MI theory has few enthusiasts among psychometricians or others of a traditional psychological background” because they require “psychometric or experimental evidence that allows one to prove the existence of the several intelligences.”

here, Gardner himself admitted that MI theory is unfalsifiable because it can't be measured.

This lead the authors of this textbook to correctly conclude:

The Textbook “Introducing Neuroeducational Research: Neuroscience, Education and the Brain from Contexts to Practice” classifies multiple intelligences as a pseudoscience because it is unfalsifiable (there’s no way to show it’s wrong) and doesn’t make any predictions.

If you still aren't convinced consider these surveys of psychologists which found that they overwhelmingly favor a g-factor model of intelligence over specific abilities. [1] [2]
