        They’re not bullshit - you just don’t like them or understand what they actually measure.

        It’s a highly studied field with tests that produce repeatable results that correlate strongly with certain real-life success metrics.

        Agreed. Doing well on any test just proves that you’re good at taking a test. Intelligence is measured by far many variables then test taking. Nevermind that test scores can be raised by coaching and practice. If the IQ test were a true indicator of intellect the score would be fixed each and every time it is taken regardless of outside influences.
