Former President Donald Trump said he'd "absolutely" be up for adding Elon Musk to his cabinet though he believes Musk will serve more as a consultant.
The Trump II cabinet so far: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr. and Elon Musk.
No, because temperature actually is a valid and reliable measure of heat. IQ tests are neither valid nor reliable. Most of their use has been co-opted by racists seeking to prove a point about minority groups. They are not a measure of intelligence, and should not be used as such. Broadly speaking, human intelligence is too vast and complex to be easily reduced to a three digit number.
Aside from creativity (which elon also excels at) and social intelligence (which he does not - or does he) it is a good predictor of intelligence. I mean psychologist or not, you can argue it til you’re blue in the face but tests measure aptitude, there’s a reason the entire world uses them. Saying someone is “good at tests but not good at the thing” is just a lazy argument.
Temperature measures heat, which is one of many indicators of how it’ll feel outside. IQ tests measure “reasoning/problem solving, memory, pattern recognition, and information processing speed.” As a psychologist you know that already! Those are a few of the many indicators of a persons intelligence! See how that works?
Carry on!
Is it perfect? Obviously not! But to say it’s inaccurate is just wrong.
IQ is overrated as a method of measurement
I mean okay. That’s like saying temperature is an overrated method measuring the conditions outside.
Does it capture the true essence of how it will feel outdoor? No, there are too many other factors to consider.
But it gives the ballpark.
And someone with 130 IQ is unquestionably smarter by every conventional standard than someone with 100.
So like him or not (I don’t trust me lol) he is a genius.

Signed, an incredibly annoyed psychologist.
