Of course not. IQ should be forbidden because it is racist, fascist and bad!

You can always tell which people took an "IQ test" (most of them probably even just did some bullshit online thing and not even a real one) and have nothing else going for them but a number that they think tells people they're smart.

Yeah, about online tests, I've taken it twice in the olden days, once I got a result (probably due to connection problems) fitting a rock, and once I got something egghead high (probably due to the same).

And I've never met people mentioning their IQ test results as an argument other than what you said.
