Q. What is the main criticism against IQ testing?
A. Cultural Biased.
And who do you think IQ tests favor? That's right people, white mid-class males! Apparently, the majority of IQ test questions draws from experiences more common to white middle class people. Lets look at some sample IQ tests taken from random websites online....

I am sorry, to suggest that IQ tests are geared more for white middle class males is frankly an insult to every one's intelligence.
