Is the statement true or false?

Anthropologists consider IQ tests to be a valid way to compare the intelligence of populations.Is the statement true or false?
Absolutely false. IQ tests tend to measure Westernized thinking and do not reflect true intelligence. They are cultural constructions.Is the statement true or false?
As worded the question would be false.





You could argue that the question assumes each population would have an IQ test that would be relevant to itself, but that's probably a stretch.
