America seriously uses “IQ tests” to find out the level of mental development of a person. It reduces all human capability to some “intellect”. IQ testing was devised to test kids on their ability to comply with a SPECIFIC school curriculum. It was never meant to be a tool to measure human ABILITIES or the level of human development. However, it has been conveniently used to justify vile racism and to divide humanity into Uber- and Untermenschen.

Obsession with IQ tests as means to MEASURE something that cannot be measured at all, makes America one of the most backward nations on Earth. It damages people left and right, and then it leaves them homeless and penniless, wandering the streets, medicated into oblivion.
