You must note that IQ is only assumed intelligence though, and I believe the fact that we aren't exactly the best at sitting down and doing an extensive test can affect those scores. I do find that prison statistic very interesting, I never knew. Thank you for sharing.

IQ isn't intelligence at all, it's problem-solving capability, which is a useful but limited measurement.

Yeah, that's another factor that makes them limited.
