I was reading 'Cubed' - a semi-autobiographical book about Ernő Rubik's life and the cube. I noticed this-





Ernő Rubik himself affirmed that IQ has no place being associated with intelligence, and certainly not cubing.

I looooove that book (though sometimes it can be a bit confusing to read)

IQ measures a person's reasoning ability.
I would argue that IQ isn't directly correlated in any way to ability to solve a Rubik's Cube, which is obviously just pattern recognition and muscle memory.

I agree with this.

I don’t know much about the measurement of Intelligence Quotient, but I am aware that some people think that IQ is a totally arbitrary measurement of intelligence.

I also don’t approve of the poll - getting people to put their IQ out there, to be taken as an absolute, unchallengeable measurement of their intelligence isn’t a great idea IMO.
