I don't think that IQ tests measure intelligence as much as they test perception, and logic.

In college in my pych course we not only had to take the standardized IQ tests that we've all taken here, but we took the Chitlen (sp?) IQ test, which was a IQ test designed around black kids raised in Brooklyn and Harlem.

I aced the standard IQ test with an IQ of 141

I was marginally ######ed on the other one with an IQ of 67

IQ tests are only valid if they take environment into consideration. thats why negro's in the 50's were considered to have a sub standard level of intelligence.
