Fun fact: Indonesian gamelan music is rythmically so complex that it can't be written in western musical notation.
To me it sounds like vaguely interesting harmonic bangs, but saying that it lacks melody or something is like saying Bach lacks bass drops.
is this video meant as a stab at Adam or more the actual test itself?
He mentions that at the end of this video. "The test does not account for the fact that different styles of music have fundamentally different perceptual frameworks... The examples of music that they're using to test percept, and therefore musical IQ all come from a very specific cultural tradition."

Can someone please infodump me some stuff I can use to convince my brother that IQ is bullshit? He is steadfast in his belief of using it to measure the value of other people, and I feel like it really helps inform his more right-wing/faschie beliefs. I have hope for him since I managed to kind of turn him onto anarcho-syndicalism recently, but then we'll talk about things like autism (he is most likely a closeted aspie and has said before that if he is he won't admit it out of shame of being associated with "low-functioning" ASD) and when talking about "high" vs "low" functioning he'll say stuff like "Oh right I forgot your side doesn't believe in IQ".
Also, I tried to make him listen to Shaun's video on the Bell Curve but he wouldn't listen to it because it was "too long".
It takes me 3 hours to tune an instrument and this test didn't score me poorly. What use is an IQ test that doesn't account for skill you can actually apply?
