Thanks for a really entertaining post. One side note: The IQ test is actually a worse scam than degree mills. The feature that it purports to measure, a generalized intelligence faculty called "g", is a scientific fraud with roots in the Eugenics movement. A lot of the basic research behind the concept of "g" and the IQ test has since been recanted by the researchers who originally published it. Anyway, it has an interesting history, documented in the (not uncontroversial) book, "The Mismeasure of Man".
