A High IQ Makes You an Outsider, Not a Genius

The article challenges the idea that a high IQ score defines genius or superiority by highlighting how IQ tests often rely on outdated metrics like speed (from 1949) and objectivity (from 1993), which can lead to inaccurate conclusions about intelligence. It also emphasizes the subjective nature of certain assessments, such as analogies based on cultural assumptions, and argues that genius can manifest in diverse ways beyond traditional IQ scores. The piece advocates for evaluating genius through contributions and work rather than tests, suggesting true genius is multifaceted and influenced by various factors.
