I was tested as a child, as part of a battery of other tests.

According to that, I'm a genius.

Its obvious its bullshit.

The only difference in high score vs low score on an IQ test Imo is the ability to recognize that one is truly foolish and knows nothing. As I say that I realize that accepting you don't know everything is actually a great way to encourage yourself to learn more hence improving effective intelligence... Maybe its not all Bullshit?

It has its use. Comparing numbers? Not so much, unless you are working on a patient with your team as part of your job and all

it's original use was actually clever.

the idea was to compare students by their mental development rather than are to allocate classes.

but it was quickly picked up by race "scientists" to promote eugenics.
