I love IQ issues. I'm firmly on the idea that they are there to make rich educated white people feel better about themselves. ;-)

So like most things in life, you say there is a "thing" you want to measure. (INtelligence, verbal skills, emotional health, etc), and having defined this "thing", you create a "scale" that "measures" it, and then a test to see where each person is on that scale. The problem is likely circular, as your tests are designed in such a way that you see them measuring your X, when in reality they could be measuring Y, effect by Y, or X could simply not even exist except in your mind?

I need an hour and a half to watch this.
