Why don't universities filter for IQ anymore? I mean the top 100 do but beyond that it's a wash, any retard can get into 140 ranked uni by cramming, any retard can get into 300 ranked uni with just reading and at 400 it's just freeI don't really care about diluting prestige or the workload/expenses this incurs but it's extremely destructive to students who are the retards. 110 IQ midwit shouldn't be studying EE or CS, that's a waste of his time.
because it's racist to do that
IQ is a meme and only retards think it measures intelligence, also universities get paid by the number of students they let in.
>>16554989Why does a business try to maximize its customer base? Is this a serious question?
>>16554989Ranking is a meme, particularly for undergraduate. At the post graduate and PhD level it's a bit different since presumably lower intelligence students would have been filtered out a bit and have weak/failing grades.Important to remember that whilst psychometric g is very real. Some students will be much more adept in verbal/non verbal fields. Since schools are often forcing kids to specialize earlier and earlier, you may land up with a 115 IQ student at a top 15 university who has a non verbal IQ of 130 and a verbal IQ of 100. That's perhaps a bit exadurated but I've seen plenty of similar situations myself. Again, ranking is a meme though see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQWlnTyOSig&t=122s
>>16555098This is exactly why universities shouldn't be a business.Universities should be about value creation not value extraction.Conducting scientific research and providing platform to the brightest of minds so that they can learn and pursue their destiny should be the goal.Soviet Union built the best Education system in human history.

>>16554989because it is profitable to have a larger base of customers. For such an intelligent individual you sure do seem to struggle with things that children regularly intuit. >110 IQ midwit shouldn't be studying EE or CS, that's a waste of his time.Why? I see midwits of this range make okay money and form relatively stable careers constantly. You'd be surprised the level of professional success a mediocre intellect can get you if applied properly.
>>16555046The only people who don't believe in IQ are below triple digits and probably religious.
>>16554989>Why don't universities filter for IQ anymoreIQ is an outdated system. Originally it's usage was to regulate factory and military workers adeptness at basic mental tasks. It's not the greatest test for creative thinking; something universities thrive on. It's usage is slowly being replaced by phycological profiling like the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator and SAGE.>>16555046Boasting of a "high IQ" tells me exactly what kind of a thinker you are.>>16555909If you put someone with a 260 IQ in a room full of 1760's Bulgarian spice traders, it would be difficult for them to communicate at the same level let alone barter prices or discuss trade routes. Does this mean that our 260 IQ genius is stupid? No. It simply demonstrates the point that intelligence is a relative concept.
