IQ is a highly accurate measurement Orrex Sep 2017 #1

I'm not suggesting I Q tests should be linked to driver's licenses or any licensure. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2017 #12

Well... Orrex Sep 2017 #14

I would never suggest linking an I Q test to any kind of licensure. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2017 #16

True, but at the other end of the spectrum... Orrex Sep 2017 #18

Are you content ? DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2017 #19

Yes, but I could have been a bit more contenter. Orrex Sep 2017 #21
