    IQ of someone is not stable: it changes depending on how much you train to do it or the mental/psychological state you are in when you pass it. Thus it is not a sound scale to measure anything.

    The fact that it is merely a ranking of people further push it in the realm of straight bullshit.

      How can you possibly measure intelligence separately from the mental state of the person taking the test

      In Summer the Eiffel tower is higher than in Winter. Does that mean meters are not a sound scale to measure length?

        The metter is not determined by the average height of the eiffel tower. The average height of the effeil tower is measured with the meter. That is the important difference. The meter is also based on constant of physics, and has a very precise definition. You can’t say the same of IQ.
