Default Re: Average SMP IQ.

[ QUOTE ]
Are there any "legitimate" IQ tests where knowledge or
education in mathematics is NOT going to be helpful?

[/ QUOTE ]
I dont think so - that was my point. IQ is often portrayed as a test of inherent intelligence which seems to me to be contradicted by the fact you can improve it with training.

Similarly with the "louisiana purchase is to _______ as alaska is to russia" question. This is predominantly testing knowledge of historical trivia, not some kind of inherent intelligence.
