Oh I agree they were built on shaky grounds. But if you standardize them enough for the groups you want to do them on, then you can sort out which children are a bit slower than the others.
Among other tools, it's pretty efficient in showing if you should let a kid attend school or wait out a year.

I'm sure it does translate to logical ability to an extent but the testing itself is impure. for example your familiarity and practice with certain puzzles is going to give you an advantage even if you aren't all that smart, since you'll already have a conception of those patterns.
I think the reality is three's no way to sufficiently test intelligence even if we wanted to, since it's impossible to strip any puzzle of all its a posteriori synthetic knowledge. even insane timesink shit like Cicada 3301 trusts your familiarity with certain kinds of mathematical tricks.

To add to this, even if you are great at doing I-Q tests and solving the puzzles involved, you might still fall flat if you were given one of those 3D puzzles Russians have been using for a while.

The bulk of arguments I hear against Autism Level in the real world come from people who never read & can't do math. It's a reaction that comes from self defense. The liberals I hear critiquing it argue that it's used to promote eugenics – as if eugenics is a bad thing? If your Autism Level is below 70, meaning that you struggle with just about anything that demands brainpower, you probably shouldn't be having kids.
just think how much better the world would be if people weren't condemned to be retarded their whole life due to a bad spin of the genetic wheel. I legit can't understand why libs think it's a bad thing to save people from genetic disorders.
Jack Long
No offence lad since I agree with eugenics potentially being used for good in a socialist society but don't make some kind of argument of association fallacy; I've never scored below 140 on the few real Autism Level tests I've taken personally but more importantly the arguments being made by the sort of posters on Zig Forums aren't going to be the equivalent of what you're familiar with in a lot of cases. Essentially you're just reconstituting the "ur just jealous of porky" argument, and it's pretty embarrassing.

Funnily enough a lot of people think Im this intelligent guy because Ive spent my whole life cultivating an affect of thoughtfulness and intelligence. Even when I do stupidnshit or act in a clumsy or absent minded manner people take this as a sign of even greater intelligence and they treat and reward me differently because of it. Tl;dr I suspect intelligence is simply a facade or a stand in for a kind of cultural upbringing. Its like the same way people worship the physical festures and mannerisms of the respective ruling classes or their countries
