Embrace IQ in Public Policy

Explicitly using the term 'intelligence' and standardized IQ measures (with clear limits) can clarify links between education, health literacy, and workforce planning. Rather than avoiding the word, institutions should publish provenance, error bounds, and use‑cases so tests inform tailored interventions (health communication, special education, AI‑interface design). — Naming and normalizing intelligence measurement would change resource allocation in schools and clinics, force clearer data reporting, and influence AI system design and evaluation.
