Oh, that kind of tight. I thought it meant like you had a tight rear end.

I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Mike Mann, and you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, what's the point of IQ testing?

She said, you know, Michael, some people prepare a lot for this.

They take practice tests because it's really important to your future and I

was like well you could have told me that before I took it. Angela, today's question is one of great brevity. It's sent to us by a man named Mike Silva. Mike and Angela he writes,

does IQ testing and awareness have any benefit to society at large?

Question mark.

Hmm, that's it, that's all Mike says?

That's all he said, but I think the two question marks make it seem like he feels very skeptically

about IQ tests.

Yes, we need to interpret the two question marks. Do you know your IQ score, Mike?

No, in fact, I was thinking about that. I have never taken an IQ test.

Really? You didn't get tested for like gifted and talented when you were in

elementary school. And I feel so. I was in the gifted and talented program so

clearly there was some... Wait, want to know more? You went to public schools then? I

did go to public school, yes. And like were you in it the whole time?

I think so, but I don't know that there was like a fully separate class or anything.

I don't remember this very well. Did they pull you out and like walk you down the hallway to the enrichment room?

I think they would like separate us for certain subjects.

Oh, right, like you get the advanced, whatever, English class or something.

Correct.
