...you have apparently missed the point entirely. At no point did I
say it measures nothing. It is a measurement device, it obviously
measures something. Whether or not what it measures reflects the
QUALITY of the mind under investigation is another matter entirely.
...What would lead you to believe that the ability to comprehend
quantum mechanics et al has anything to do with the worth of a
consciousness or the potential contribution of that mind to the
species?
...as I said, it is a measurement of specific cognitive skills - [by
your own admission] mathematics, verbal expression and logic - as
they relate to a particular social context and worldview [academic
instruction] and translate into a particular testing format.
...the fact that you scored well is a reflection of your
accomplishment in these areas. The fact that you feel the need to
crow about it indicates something else altogether.
