I agree that on a general level, obviously a scientist will come out higher on an I.Q. test, than Suzie. But, I.Q. tests should not be looked at, then a conclusion drawn that a person must be thick because of their score. 'Intelligence' is such a widely defined word, it is unclear what it means. Also, so many different tests are conducted, all claiming to be I.Q. tests. They can have different scores. Suzie may be near bottom in one, but higher in another.
Case in point: I took 2 test claiming to be I.Q. tests. One I got only 104, one I got 138. Demonstrates that we have different strengths in different areas.
Judging Suzie on her behaviour in the house is fine, but the I.Q. tesy is a nonsense, without looking at the scientific analysis, what it was trying to measure and Suzie's state of mind during it, as well as other possible influencing factors, that may suggest it was not a 'fair test'.
