What does high IQ mean anyway?

1.36K views

I hear people say that high IQ doesn’t mean you are automatically good at something, but what does it mean then, in terms of physical properties of the brain? And how do they translate to one’s abilities?

Idk if anyone else has mentioned this, but IQ is actually a misnomer. When people say IQ, what they really mean is the G-Factor.

The G-factor is the most scientifically accepted term for intelligence. IQ is a test score. Thus, this implies there are ways other than IQ tests to measure intelligence (G-Factor).

IQ tests are (one of) the most reliable measurements, but there are some problems with the tests such as societal and economic biases.
