Is an IQ Test fairly Measure Your Intelligence?

These days we have the same serious problem when we try to measure IQ, and something more important is how IQ can relate to the successes and achievements in this world. There is a problem which is considered as one of the biggest is that people teach their young adults and kids how to figure out and score high in the questions of the IQ test , and parents send their children to weekend camps in high school to help them score high on the SAT test and the likes.

In college or universities, students buy test question books of MENSA and then study them in the library for weeks or even months, and after that go to take the tests in order to see who of them is the most intelligent. Well, they ended up doing all this by fooling themselves in the assessments of IQ test. In brief, everyone can easily pass the test if they have known the questions all along, or they have done many similar questions so that they know every the trap and trick.

The UTNE Reader, a famous American magazine, published in 2009 an article whose title was "Stupid people of high IQ" by Gordon Bennett. It rally hit the nail right on public's head, and there is a funny quote in this article making much sense: ''Here there is no standard test to measure the ability of people for rational thought. New Scientist magazine highlighted the work of Keith Stanovich, the author of "What an IQ test miss", who believed a test which measured "rationality quotient" can be useful to measure how intelligent people are.

And in fact, I think these mentioned articles and comments are absolutely right. These things are exactly what I have thought and I am very amazed that people of high IQ cannot solve easy problems.
