IQ tests. Here's why I don't put too much stock in them.

A loooooong time ago I was a kid in grade school. Our class was given an IQ test. One question consisted of illustrations of a couple different cuts of meat, and a salmon steak, and a plate of liver. Which of the four didn't fit in with the other three?

I figured the first three were the meat, or the muscle itself, of an animal. Liver was guts, not muscle, so in my mind, liver was the odd man out.

Not so. I was told the fish was cold-blooded so that made it the correct answer. Incidentally, to this day I believe I was right.

I was told the right answer was determined by asking a large group of people the same question. Whatever the majority says is accepted as correct. One flaw in such logic is that historically, it was not all that long ago the majority of people believed the Earth is flat. Of course, they were told that by the smartest, most highly educated folks around at the time. Pfffffttt
FAIL!  The world is flat,duhhh.....
