Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself and our generation.

I love Motley Crue like a fat kid loves Scarlett Johansson but would never in a million years use their sales figures to justify their worth. And their self-titled album with Corabi is just boring. New Tattoo is a lot of fun though, even if the songwriting never reaches top notch.
More or less made this point earlier. Rich and big sales does not necessarily equal being good. Just popular. A lot of crap (imo) is popular. Doesn't make it good.

Standardized tests is a pretty broad term. Some were; some weren’t. Sometimes teachers would lie about the stakes for the students so they would try.

True on the complexity of intelligence but that’s widely recognized. Hardly anyone claims it’s the end of the conversation but like I said it does measure aptitude. Not flawlessly but really damn well, like it or not.
True on the motivation point. Like I said, results change when the testers are promised high value rewards. I could find the article I read this in if you want me to.

Nah, I don’t need a study to tell me that people score higher when they try harder.

I thought you meant motivated to succeed in general.

The schism between Dee Snider and Krokus.
This is an unbelievable tale about Krokus threatening Dee's wife.

The schism between hardcore Metallica fans and Victoria Secret.
(edit: I don't know if it is very true, but it could be likely true.) Thousands of Metallica fans returned their Victoria catalogs back to Victoria Secret headquarters. That'll show you Victoria Secret - you don't mess with Metallica.

No, just people who are less motivated in life are less likely to do well on IQ tests. People who are motivated try harder. So it's not people with low IQs are lazy, it's lazy people are less likely to score high on an IQ test.
