No OP but I’ll weigh in. Should they be the ONLY test? No. Do they have a use as a quick metric of one’s intelligence at a social level that can expressed via communication? Yes. While we don’t judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree or judge dogs for how quick they dig train tunnels through mountains, when it comes to human intelligence you can often watch someone and tell fairly quickly if they’re smart, smart in their own way, or just plain fucking stupid.
