They’re good only for finding deficits. I score well enough across the board, except my sequential memory, like you tell me five numbers then ask me to repeat them back in order a minute later and I cannot do that, basically doesn’t exist. I’m certainly smart enough to get by so I don’t really care about the positive scores but having proof I had a learning disability was critical for me to get the help I needed in school. Being perceived as smart often makes people believe you have to be smart in every possible way. So IQ tests have their uses, but like Steven Hawking said “people who boast about their IQs are losers”
