Regarding this bullshit about IQ tests results being directly influenced by culture, education, environment, nutrition, etc, I have the anecdotal story of Jean Frene.

Born in 1942 in a farmer's family, one of 11 children, and he grew up during a time of food rationing that lasted until 1949.
He left school at 14 to go work on the family farm, but had to go for military service at 19. There he had to pass some intelligence tests, and he did so well that the army sent him back to school instead. He completed high school in 4 months and went to university, where he ultimately got a PhD in physics.
Later he became a renowned in the field of tribology.

Intelligence is mostly nature, not nurture. IQ tests can reveal that natural intelligence when it has not been nurtured.
