Wht are IQ points?

Ashlynn asked me this last week heading to Farmer's Market. I kept trying to tell her it was a test score but she kept getting frustrated. She said, "No, they're bumps on your head. But what are they?!"

I was baffled and said, "Do you mean phrenology?" "What?!" was her only response.

Finally she said, "So-and-so got bumped on the head and said, 'I just lost 5 IQ points!'"

I explained to her that head-trauma can lower your intelligence but IQ points were just a test score to see how smart you were. That made sense to her finally.

I then stressed it was just a number and you could appear really smart or really dumb depending on what test you took. (I couldn't help myself...)

Then we discussed phrenology until Ty decided to attempt to get run over by a car and we had to chase after him.
