i'm wary of IQ tests as tests of 'intelligence' too...
i mean...
if you define 'intelligence' as a score on a test i guess it is a reflection of intelligence by definition but that seems fairly ininformative...there are serious issues around intelligence testing...
cultral bias... how much the answers are generalisable to other kinds of task (as it is assumed they will be) the difference between theorietical rationality and practical rationality etc etc.
most people could get into mensa if they studied for the tests...
if it is important to you...
