This idiot obviously doesn't know what an IQ test is. An IQ test carried
out on a 13 year old will get a score which will remain roughly constant
for most of that individual's life. What's your next defense? The
'culture' thing? Why don't you read the book? The introduction alone will
give you more info. about IQ tests than you currently appear to posess.
