IQ isn't even about maths like that. IQ is intelligence potential basically not how good you are at certain subjects. Thats why online IQ tests are completely BS.

You can have a genius IQ but not apply yourself and be extremely unintelligent.

Yeah, I was about to say this. The IQ tests I've done have been more geared towards logical thinking than academia.

Well, it depends. In actual context, IQ tests don't tend to cover the pure subjects, e.g. Maths, but rather cover techniques, e.g. visualisation, memory, problem-solving, etc, so it's fair to say they only cover the more visual form of intelligence. But, on the other hand, schools have conducted standardised tests, which relatively have the same range (except they don't go beyond 140), in English, Mathematics and NVR (non-verbal reasoning) since 1985, so, if you're in your 30s and under, your school probably would have covered those tests, anyway, so I think it's safe to say that we now have sufficient enough evidence to say that the IQ of a person can be, more or less, measured to a basic degree of accuracy, at least.
