The problem with the “unscientificness” of the IQ test is that IQ tests are extraordinarily successful at predicting a great many behaviors.

For instance, for most of the anti-social behaviors Derb discusses, differences between races largely disappear when one controls for IQ. Indicating IQ is much more important in determining the behavior than race.

Is IQ testing perfect? Of course not. And we’re not even sure it really measures intelligence, since there is no truly scientific definition of intelligence. But whatever IQ tests measure, it correlates very well with a great many important human behaviors.

Quick test for you all. Name one place on earth in the US or otherwise that has a black dominate population with them controlling things and now tell me which of those nations or places are prosperous and not an absoulte third world shitbox. Oh right they arent any. The US started going down hill after all this welfare gibs me dat. I wont even bring up the brain size controversy and the lack of advancement of a certain race throughout history, because to speak truth and logic nowadays in the cultural marxist west is deemed racist. The truth in the end will solve all problems, but it will get very ugly if people continue to ignore it and let it fester.
