Why do people ask about IQ. When it is apparent they have no clue what it is?

$0.02, once again you are at the forefront of an excellent point. If you were to take your study a few steps forward, you would discover that it is mostly people who lack the ability to engage in thought provoking debate who mostly rely on these IQ scores. These are the same individuals who have their SAT's tattooed to every conversation as well. Kudos to you sir, on an excellent point!
