Intelligence?

Facebook is, as far as I'm concerned, entirely for the purpose of whatever nonsense you can think of on a given day. For me, who has an awful lot of nonsense swilling around my head, it has been the ideal forum for releasing said nonsense without worrying too much about the consequences.
Of course, a blog has very much the same idea, but facebook has the added advantage of the increasingly ridiculous range of add-on applications to express said nonsense.
Talking of Nonsense, with a capital N, I come to IQ, that bizarre, inappropriately named concept which has held rather more sway in people's imagination in the last 100 years than it ought to have. Never a truer word spoken than that the only thing an IQ test really measures is whether someone is good at IQ tests, which ought to be a relatively pointless thing (as pointless, if not more so, than being good at pub quizzes, one might say!) but it has persisted in often being seen as a real measure of people's intelligence, capability, life skills etc.
I don't know my own IQ, nor do I particularly care. In idle moments in recent years, I did a couple of online tests which all seemed as disreputable and tacky as the next - needless to say, the range of score from test to test was pretty large, depending on a) how I was feeling b) how the test was weighted - I'm pretty decent with words and numbers, not so great with spatial awareness c) and most importantly, whatever random made-up utterly spurious number they give you!
Where's all this going? Well, Facebook has, you may have noticed, an IQ score application, which I've noticed various friends of mine taking and then displaying in recent months. Hardly surprisingly, they all had pretty high numbers (though i heard the complaint that as high scores went, this particular test didn't give particularly high scores) as you surely wouldn't proudly advertise a low IQ, would you , but this is where my delight in nonsense came in.
"I shall take this accursed test" I cackled to myself " and i shall subvert the whole elitist system - ha! - by scoring low and displaying it proudly!" In such moments I believe myself to be an art terrorist of the highest order, a modern day Debord, a KLF for the 21st century, rather than just an idle-minded clown who leaves his computer on when he'd really be better turning it off and going for a brisk walk. "Everyone shall see my low IQ, and immediately realise a) how clever and funny I am and b) how silly the idea of IQ and, in particular, people knowing each other's IQ, is"... so I took the test, and, reader, i nailed it - 100%, the big 0, 30 questions taken, 30 wrong answers. Imagine my surprise then to see the extremely average, unimpressive, figure of 63 come up as my score. Where the hell do they get that from? What could differentiate me from someone who scored, say, 42? Do I get that 63 for being able to turn on the computer, click the options, what? In a sense, I'd proved my point to myself, that the whole 'quota' thing was as random and muddy as hot egg, but, needless to say, my vanity came into play.. "it's not low enough that people will realise i'm kidding, what will my employers think" and so I mentioned to a few friends to look out for it, in an exaggerated, aren't I hilarious way. Well, needless to say, no one has even commented on it, or even, I imagine, noticed it. Perhaps those few that did spot it nodded sagely and said 'Ah yes, I already knew he was all talk and no brain, 63's about right' which tickles me. All in all, I seem to have attributed a bit too much time and thought to an 'intelligence' measure I have no respect for anyway, and should, in future, stick to the quizzes, the only true test of people's intelligence, moral rectitude, life expectancy and chances of getting to heaven.
