I'm certain that I am more intelligent now than I was in high school, and also that I would score much lower on an IQ test. My brain was just so much more used to being tested with small, discrete exercises and puzzles then. It's not a useless measure, but it is such a limited one.
In Jared Diamond's excellent book, Guns, Germs and Steel he recounts a native in New Guinea (I think it was that country) asking Diamond why is it that his people are so far behind the Europeans. The book tells the story and it has nothing to do with any race being smarter than another.

You should ignore types like Fuentes and instead focus on those like Charles Murray.
