IQ is useful up to 130 (2 standard deviations) and it's useless above that. To measure intelligence above 2 standard deviations, you need a harder test.
For example, the people that enter the Putnam college mathematics competition are the best math students in America. The total possible score is 120 and the mean score is 5. The national champion scores around 100. For many Putnam questions, fewer than 10 people in the nation solve it.
What counts is originality and impact. That's how research mathematicians are judged.
When you examine the territory above 130, the differences between races become much more stark. This is because the IQ distribution falls off fast at the wings, with the speed of
Y = exp(-X^2).
For example, consider the International Mathematics Olympiad. A European is 1000 times more likely to win a gold than an African.
The Mathematics Olympiad is not a test of mathematics knowledge. There is no calculus. It's a test of mathematics badassness. Education makes only a small contribution to mathematics badassness. It's mostly inate.
Hungarians care about mathematics competitions and they dominate the Mathematics Olympiad. What a cool culture. Being the Hungary high school mathematics champion is as prestigious as being a star quarterback in Texas.
Many of the great physicists and mathematicians were Hungarians. They're jestingly referred to as "Martians". For example, Szilard, Neumann, Erdos, Teller, Wigner, von Karman, Eotvos, and Lanczos.
Cultures that train their kids in mathematics should be praised. Instead, Harvard penalizes you if you're from such a culture. Harvard discourages such culture. Harvard is the Khmer Rouge, taking us backward, not forward. Harvard is walking back the renaissance and bringing us back to the age of superstition.
Harvard SAT bias:
Asian -140
White 0
Hispanic +130
Black +310

If you want a more in depth, but still layman explanation on IQ go take a peek at Jordan Peterson's YTube videos. He did quite a few as part of his lectures in Uni. It is a basic characteristic. He also warns that discussion about IQ vs race is forbidden -- has been for decades.

Yes, this matter needs to be discussed. There is a mountain of conclusions that fall out naturally once it's discussed, and these conclusions will change the game. They will be inconvenient to leftists, and they will be mathematically solid.

Morbid science in having to weigh those brains. Or were the weights arrived at based on the volume inside the cranium? Then again, brainwashed whites are not showing much intelligence.
@eschatologyguy ??
@adriaan23 Please check the graph presented by Jay above.
I love the show iZombie. When a zombie eats a brain it temporary gains the powers of that brain.
The lead character is a zombie, and she's a mortician.
Yes, usually it's brain volume that's measured. Brains have a density of 1.07 grams/cm^3.
