Sam Simon calls into The WUS expressing "concern" for Sal's comedy future after Howard retires based on his I.Q score, which Sam claims is lower than that of the average (135 to 140) of the comedy writers he has worked with. Sal takes offense for some reason.
If that there score theyre grading their own tests

@HGeneAnthony Properly designed intelligence tests are free of cultural and educational bias (like learned information). The WAIS, (most popular test in the US), devotes only a small section to general knowledge. Point values for that section are so minimal that they rarely effect overall performance scores. The Raven's Matrices (measures abstract reasoning) doesn't even require reading and writing skills. U might be thinking of online tests--most of which are poorly designed and bogus

@spockmcqueen Professionally administered and standardized intelligence tests are only measuring raw intelligence. Nobody has ever claimed they measure something else (like music appreciation, sense of humor, etc). However, raw intelligence does correlate with abilities that are valued in most developed cultures like the US (problem solving, logical reasoning, visual-spatial skills, etc).. I don't understand why people criticize IQ tests for things that the tests never claim to measure

@CQ1981331 I'll give simon and matt that the simpson have gone this far and congrats to them. That said the show and writing just don't seem as funny, but thats kinda like all shows, it's lost its steam. Plus simon has a whole staff to write things sal just has his life partner richard :P
