No. If I program a program that equates 1+1=3 in a predictable manner, and many other wrong calculations, so we don't understand its inner workings. But still the prediction would be the same with this program. That does not mean its correct. IQ tests are not good indications of if someone is more intelligent than someone else. And no, they do not generate accurate predictions, that's not even what an IQ test is for.
You're displaying an ignorance on how science works. Repeatability and predictions are massively important to the scientific method.
And you keep misunderstanding and misrepresenting what I'm saying.
And I'm not saying that IQ tells you if someone is more intelligent than someone else. (it doesn't)
