Came to say similar things.

Have you ever heard of a more objective / repeatable test of intelligence? I'd be surprised if there was one but curious.

American police forces seem to have something figured out, they filter for morons pretty effectively.

My personal view is that trying to find one single measure of cognitive capacity is a fool's errand. Modern IQ tests are battery tests (ie multiple tests in one), but still end up mapping to a single dimension in a normally distributed manner. That is my major problem. In my opinion IQ tests tell us something but I have not seen compelling evidence that particular thing is in fact intelligence.

So short answer: no; long answer: we shouldn't be looking for one single measure.
