   • 1987, Roger R. Flynn, “[Data Organization and Use] Understanding the Data”, in An Introduction to Information Science, Marcel Dekker, Inc., →ISBN, page 129:

     A ratio scale is one with an absolute zero and equal intervals between the units of the scale. Height and weight are such scales. Presumably IQ is not, and certainly the Fahrenheit and centigrade scores are not.

   • 2017 December 10, Arwa Mahdawi, “Having a high IQ is a curse … just look at Donald Trump”, in The Guardian‎, archived from the original on 25 April 2020:

     Not everyone is quite as enamoured with IQ tests as Trump. In 2004, the New York Times asked Stephen Hawking what his IQ was and he memorably replied: “People who boast about their IQ are losers.” […] Let’s just hope that one consolation of the robots taking over is that we’ll finally stop hearing insufferable people go on about their very high IQs.

   • 2018 June 13, Rory Smith, “IQ scores are falling and have been for decades, new study finds”, in CNN‎, archived from the original on 19 July 2022:

     The study not only showed IQ variance between children the same parents, but because the authors had the IQ scores of various parents, it demonstrated that parents with higher IQs tended to have more kids, ruling out the dysgenic fertility theory as a driver of falling IQ scores and highlighting the role of environmental factors instead.

3. Initialism of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit traditional knowledge).
