I kind of agree
It sounds unusual, but I've always believed that I have a 200 IQ but probably some of it is more divergent or creative and isn't picked up by standard iq tests only a portion of it is detectable today
Maybe instruments of the future that can measure neocortex in higher res will.be able to prove it one day

Once we... get ready for it... I'm about to say my catchphrase... ENHANCE OUR NEOCORTEX... we'll have qualitatively different everything and that'll result in intelligence so beyond what we currently know that we'll transcend the word and even the concept of intelligence itself.

Interesting
But how do you think such an enhanced being would view concept of jntelligence now being fixed and concept of IQ once transcended?
Or will it be completely debunked?

Do any of us look like enhanced beings to ya?

Nobody knows what the future has in store, but I truly think it'll be beyond paradise.

I think that the "g factor" and IQ scores are measures of a real phenomenon, but in the future as we come to understand intelligence better and we have more advanced artificial intelligence, we will be able to observe and model the diversity of human intelligence with much finer-grained resolution.
The situation is analogous to Astronomy, where over the past century or so we have gained better and better instruments that allow us to observe the same complex objects in finer and finer detail and discover more and more about them in the process.
