How do you define/determine this?
Isn't there an "obvious" causal relationship between brain mass and intelligence?
.Above someone remarked that a female weightlifters might have a much more powerful snatch than male powerlifters, due to several strength tests involving specialised skills auxiliary to "general strength". So it seems that you might indeed be able to "bias" (at least some) strength tests.
How about "solving puzzles makes you smarter, therefore IQ measures something real"?
There no good research that suggests that solving puzzles makes you significantly smarter in the same way that lifting weights makes you significantly smarter.
The fact that women generally have smaller brains than men doesn't mean that they are generally less intelligent in the same way that the fact that women generally have less muscle means that they have less strength.
