this person doesn't even particularly seem to understand what IQ tests have to do with eugenics (though I totally would get what they are trying to say here if the other examples would make any sense at all), but someone claiming that the MBTI test and the HOGWARTS HOUSE TEST were designed to group people into hierarchies so we can kill or eradicate certain groups has got to be the most insane thing ive read this morning

#myposts #like. words have meanings hello #pseudoscience is not the same word as... eugenics #like yes. none of these things have a real scientific foundational basis #but only one of them is used as shorthand for something it can barely define #(because spoiler: the iq test wasn't at all designed to BE a catch-all intelligence measurer)#and only one of these groups things into a hierarchy people can actually discriminate against #like is this person saying people refuse to have children with Slytherin because theyre scared their children would be slytherin??#or like. that some politician is advocating for not allowing ENFPs to have children anymore?#or would try to fund better programmes for INTPs only??#like hello do you know what eugenics are??
