iq still a thing?

I didn't realise it wasn't a thing anymore.

I know it's never been a good indicator of success or even cognitive abilities but it's still a thing that people try to measure.

IQ is a very good indicator of cognitive abilities. It’s a poor indicator of kindness, morality, or honesty.
