This kind of response is, in my opinion, anti-academic.

A better response would be too try to find some literature on the subject.

One aspect of IQ is your ability to solve certain kinds of abstract problems. OP asked what if the IQ tests just test your ability to solve certain kinds of abstract problems.

OP's post didn't seem like a genuine academic inquiry but instead a weak emotional attempt to dismiss something they don't like.
