Well, it helped me understand why people would very regularly not understand apparently simple stuff I explained. This happened on so many topics with so many people it was very frustrating.
I don’t think that makes them lesser than me or me better than them (the people not understanding)… It just means I had and still have to work on adapting my messaging to my audience ← and that is something that everybody regardless of IQ should do.
IQ is a rough measure of short and long term memory, pattern recognition, and reasoning ability. Naturally as a single number its predictive power is limited in the face of the broad range of human abilities, but given a high enough sample size it clearly correlates with several meaningful things.
Even accepting only the most clear correlation-- that performance on an IQ test predicts performance on future IQ tests-- to claim that this correlation is useless is to claim that there is no other activity performed by humans which is sufficiently similar to an IQ test, which is clearly not true.
If you’re going to have feelings this strong about the subject, you should do some more reading on it. Your view that IQ isn’t some absolute measure of human value is correct, but you should understand how and why if you’re going to go in depth about it.
“Feelings this strong” lmao it’s like you all read out of the “worthless reddit dumbfuck book” or something. My balls are a sample size, son. That’s my IQ.
It’s worse than useless. It tells you literally nothing about anything, plus idiots think it’s meaningful.

Real biting retort. I’m taking notes as we speak.
I can only say I’m disappointed.
