Public IQ literacy as policy tool

Build standards and short primers for journalists, educators, and lawmakers that explain what IQ tests measure, typical effect sizes, the developmental heritability pattern, and limits of causal inference. Require provenance and robustness notes whenever IQ claims are used in policy or media to prevent misinterpretation and politicized misuse. — Clear, enforceable IQ‑literacy norms would reduce policy errors and culture‑war exploitation by making empirical boundaries and uncertainties visible to non‑experts.
