Let’s abandon IQ and start QQ (Question quotient) instead – the IQ concept has proven to be totally useless
I’ve written about the extreme limitations of the IQ concept in the past.
I’ve proposed something else, instead, today on Twitter. Will try to write more about it in a future TOI blog post.
We need to stop measuring IQ and start measuring Question Quotient – the ability of a child (or human more generally) to ask questions.
On QQ, 99 per cent of humans today are extreme imbeciles, not just morons,
A shocking bunch of "believers".

IQ is the ability to be a monkey (i.e. repeat other people's answers), QQ is the ability to be human.

What a mess these lower order humans have made for the world – simply because they are so confident in their answers without first having framed the question.

THE SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM WORLDWIDE FAILS IN THE MOST BASIC TASK: TO TEACH CHILDREN TO ASK QUESTIONS.

There should be a subject in school called Questions. The only thing children would do in that class would be to ask questions. The exam would be an open-ended task: to ask questions. The more the questions, and the better the questions, the higher the grade.

Children today are fed answers and they have turned out to be gullible fools as a result. Believers – which is the lowest form of animal.
Instead, let's turn this around and train them to ask questions.

Remember, there are no bad questions.
