If the government were to mandate a policy...

That would force everyone to take an IQ test, and kill the bottom 10%,

How many people do you think would die? Would YOU die? Would you support it?

Good for population control and to get rid of the people that make you feel dumb. Jk. No, I wouldn't support it since IQ tests aren't very affective half the time and actually can be misleading. They only test part of the brain and not every attribute of a person. And one my friend's parents always says this, and it has some basis if you watch people: "Higher the IQ, lower the common sense."

It is necessary to be very cautious in using a descriptive classification of IQ’s. The IQ is, at best, a rough measure of academic intelligence. It certainly would be unscientific to say that an individual with an IQ of 110 is of high average intelligence, while an individual with an IQ of 109 is of only average intelligence. Such a strict classification of intellectual abilities would fail to take account of social elements such as home, school, and community. These elements are not adequately measured by present intelligence tests. Furthermore, it would not take account of the fact that an individual may vary in his test score from one test to another.

Measures of intelligence may be valuable — although the value is often overrated — but much harm can be done by persons who try to classify individuals strictly on the basis of such measures alone. No one should be either alarmed or discouraged if he finds that his IQ is not as high as he might have hoped. Remember that many elements besides IQ contribute to success and happiness.

If the government were to kill the bottom 10% than by definition 10% of the population would die.

It's a completely hypothetical situation, we can say whatever we want, it's not going to happen. There would be too much public outcry against it anyway... if it happened in real life, NO ONE would like it.

Well it would help the human race in general, killing off all the "dumb" people and only letting the "smart" people reproduce and such. But no i would not support it. And iam gussing a good portion of the population would be killed, 10% to be exact lol. And no i wouldnt be one of them XD.

How does it help the human race if the humans that an IQ that low are going to die? All it does is not help the human race but helps out with the "overpopulation" issue. But no, i wouldnt support it and I have my reasons.
