Yep, they sure don't measure academic acheivment. I stated previously that they were not perfect, but they do a good job of measuring intellegence. While the measurement may not be exact, it can be pretty close.

I provided links to two different articles published in peer reviewed journals. You have provided 0.
I happen to know a toxicologist (someone who deveops chemicals and tests them to see if they are safe.) personally. She is a friend of my grandmother, and is considered one of the best in her field, as well as an international expert on teratology (the study of how outside influences can effect developing animals) , particularly how chemicals effect people as they grow up, starting from before they are born. She's not any smarter than 90% of the people you know. She's not stupid by any stretch of the word, but she got where she is by working incredibly hard her whole life.
Yes, some people have an edge over others when learning certain things, how much of that is how you where brought up how much is genetic is anyone's guess (smart parents may just be more likely to raise their children to be smart.) Yes, there are stupid people as well, but for the most part it is about how interested, focused, and hardworking you are.

How does a whole special devoted to it in Nat-geo magazine do you? These studies have been going on prior to world war two, plenty of research to dig up if your interested

Mhhh ok
Mhhh ok
If there is no exact measurement of intelligence, then it would be premature to claim we are getting close or still far from mesuring intelligence .
Success in a debate isn't measured in how many links you provide, otherwise all scientific papers would be nothing but links to other links
This would bring me serious enjoyment:
Replace squirrel with stupid people, and bait with $20 bill.
