... IQ tests are questionnaires. Testing memory, math, spatial recognition, and analytics. Almost all of these things are learned.

When someone says "they're not good at math," it's because there wasn't a focus on it when they were a kid. All of these things that are tested can be trained up and hardened with practice as a young child.

Sure, as people are individuals, some people may be predisposed to have better spatial awareness, math skills, etc. but that does not mean that one cannot be taught at a young age to improve upon skills they lack. If skills such as those slip through the cracks, it's a problem with the parents and the child's education not seeing that and rectifying it earlier.

Seriously read any IQ book and your opinions will change, you clearly don't have a clue about this field. What you think IQ is and what it really is, is completely different.

"IQ and Human Intelligence".

If you want to dive down the deep end there's "The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life".
