• IQ began as a measure of mental age, but fell out of use due to political correctness and the difficulty of determining mental age for highly intelligent people.
• IQ is still useful in some situations, such as tracking academic performance and determining how many grades children with high IQs can skip.
• Analysis shows that a 4th grade student with an IQ of 145 can score as high as he wants and begin working at the high school level by age 11, and at the college level by age 15.
• The analysis also shows how wasteful the current education system is, as above average people pay a progressive tax in terms of their time to below average people when it comes to spending too much time in the education system.
This rings so true. I have a 138 IQ, and felt the vast majority of school was such a waste, nothing challenged me. I took all the AP classes I could which was something, but by my junior year of highschool I just enrolled in classes at the junior college and started going there instead and nobody did anything. I still graduated highschool at the normal time, just with my first year of college already completed. I feel like I could have been so much further along had anyone enabled it.
BM@30 lol
Whatever grade they have book knowledge up to. IQ is a crap measurement
