The VAST majority of IQ tests are both irrelevant and inconslusive anyways - just another failed theory of psychology. Don't believe me? Look at contemporary cognitive psychology.

That reminds me. My mom told me about a friend of hers that took an IQ test and didn't like his results, so he went to the library, read a couple of books on the IQ, then tried again and got a 200. Basically, most of the tests show how well you test.
Actually, now that I think about it, the guy my mom was talking about was Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead. Weird.
As for relevance, I mentioned earlier that their only real use was for diagnosing learning disabilities anyway, and variations of the tests are still quite useful today for that purpose. At least we're not bringing up that horrible Emotional IQ idea that was big for a while.
