To a degree, yes. The test is somewhat biased in favor of native English speakers who are at least sixteen years old, and strongly biased in favor of those exposed to Western culture in early life. We are not aware of any other biases.

Not in the most important sense of predictive validity. White and black Army recruits with 100 IQs on the AFQT, for instance, will perform about equally well on the job. Any kind of non-functional bias against minorities in test design has been radioactive for decades, so all the questions that were "unfair" to minorities were removed long ago.

Of course I am. Everyone is biased, only some people are afraid to admit it. Just for the record, here's where I'm coming from: See similar questions...

IQ is a measure of different components of intelligence as measured on a standardized test so arranged that exactly half of the people taking it score 100 (the 50-th percentile). When the test is given to a large number of people the distribution of scores resembles a bell curve, with intellectually gifted people falling on the curve's right side and their less fortunate counterparts on the left.

We do test for it, in many different ways. Consider the process of applying to college. The two most important elements in the application are high school GPA and the SAT or ACT score. The SAT and ACT are more or less an IQ test, while high school GPA is driven by a combination of IQ and work ethic. But demonstrating work ethic via GPA is a time-consuming prospect for the applicant ... and even for the admissions committee. See similar questions...

My advice in this situation is that either or both of your child's parents sit the much cheaper Mensa test for adults. You may be alarmed at this suggestion, but the fact is that the potential for intelligence is largely inherited, so if your child is gifted it is very likely that one or both parents are also highly intelligent.

Any Crown PIP-compatible amplifier is also IQ compatible; however, since first introducing PIP-compatible amplifiers and PIP modules, Crown has updated the PIP standard. This affects which PIP-compatible amplifiers can host certain IQ PIP modules. To see a chart that shows which Crown amplifiers are compatible with various IQ-PIP and analog PIP modules, click here (24.4 KB pdf format). See similar questions...

No. IQ is based on the rates at which intelligence develops in children. It is the ratio of the age at which a child normally makes a certain score to the child's age. The scale is extended to adults in a suitable way. IQ correlates well with various measures of success or failure in life, but making computers that can score high on IQ tests would be weakly correlated with their usefulness.

The GIQTest is an online analog for the most common clinically proctored IQ tests. In our internal study, the GIQTest correlated within about 4% of an individual's full scale score on a clinically proctored IQ test. The GIQTest's sections are modeled after clinical IQ test sections. See similar questions...

You can make up a test asking, say, "Do you eat, drink, or shoot a '40'?" on which inner city blacks might outscore Korean-Americans. [VDARE.com note: Such knowledge quickly becomes dated-Jane Elliott is still using the "Chitling Test" from 1971 to humiliate whites, but many blacks couldn't pass it today either.] But it won't have real world predictive validity.
