Well, having taken many IQ tests, and having played chess against the computer
often, where I found I won more often when I limited the amount of time the
computer could think about its next move, that either counting the amount of
time a subject takes to answer a question, or else limiting the amount of time
the subject can take for each question, should allow us to measure the IQ of a
person who can ace any IQ test if given indefinite amounts of time to finish it.
Each progressively harder question takes more time for a subject of a given
intelligence to answer.
