The onus is on those making the claim to provide the evidence. A claim without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
There is no evidence. Dig into anything that is claimed as evidence and it's clearly invalid, at best. As a statement of the overwhelimingly obvious: the field of Psychology has issues. It knows this. You've heard of the "replication crisis." There are those trying to right it and treat it like it is actually science and rip out all the pseudo-bs that psych is redolent with. Good luck to them. Maybe they'll even remove the utterly discredited stanford prison experiment from every single first year psych textbook? Or keep it as yet another example of collective delusion in the discpline caused by faked research? Yet another one. But in every textbook. Credibility?
"On the whole, scholars with any expertise in the area of intelligence and intelligence testing (defined very broadly) share a common view of the most important components of intelligence, and are convinced that it can be measured with some degree of accuracy." - Anyone who disagrees and asks for the evidence is defined as lacking expertise. It's frigging comical. But it does screw up lives and justify racism so, there's that. Get told you're stupid as a child, there's a good chance that's self-fulfilling.
There is ovewhelming evidence that vaccines work. Seen a polio case, well, ever? There is none that IQ is a useful scientific metric. See Egas Moniz's Nobel prize for how psychology can move as a discipline on mass without evidence. Or maybe butchering brains and getting nobel prizes for it isn't clear enough evidence that you can't take anything in psychology "on trust" anymore than you can physics.
IQ is a disgrace. It is already and will continue to be increasingly sighted as how bad the discpiline of psychology has been for the past 100 years. May they own their shame and do better. Your IQ score being higher than mine means absolutely nothing. My IQ score being higher than yours means nothing. Absolutely nothing. Zero. But yeah, you can convince people it's has meaning and use it mess up lives - even if you don't intend to do that. Like the altruistic motives behind lobotomy and the success they had with the Nobel committee.
