So what's the practical purpose of an IQ test? It seems that the only reason you'd ever get one would be to boast about how great it is. Is it just another heigharchal standard, or does it hold some meaningful purpose.

Most of the time it lacks a "practical" purpose: it's for ego. If it helps to secure schooling or jobs, then it is as practical as learning whatever they choose to study.
