IQ tests aren't total bullshit, but I think they have limited value and just give a sample of some overall cognitive function while having huge gaps that include much harder to test for and more abstract abilities.

In terms of race, it doesn't really matter what the data shows. Data which conflicts with the establishment narrative is simply censored, suppressed, manipulated, memory holed, and it's authors blacklisted. Some of this manipulation comes from the so called right, but not always in the manner shitlibs pretend.

Ultimately though it doesn't even matter much what differences exist. I think most races are roughly equivalent with a couple outliers on both ends, including one serious outlier on the low end, but there are many subtle but crucial differences that IQ tests probably barely touch on or are completely blind to.

I've seen Mensa members with sky high IQ talk like they didn't understand shit about shit. People forget that being great at one thing doesn't really make you great. Human reality is 8 dimensional and IQ is only one of those.

IQ is heavily influenced by training. If you take an idiot and force them to play and study chess 8 hours a day for 10 years. They'll score super high on an IQ test. Yes some will require less training and have higher potential but environment and stimuli can still make or break a persons IQ.

This is all wrong. Literally nonsense.

That is crystallized intelligence. IQ tests measure your fluid intelligence relative to other people along with a minor crystallized component in verbal intelligence (VCI) WAIS-IV.
