>implying anything will increase your IQ other than practicing the spatial reasoning and mathematics questions which modern IQ tests exclusively consist of

Mexican Americans tend to be bilingual but are one of the stupidest ethnic groups. Your theory doesn't seem to translate well to real world data.

>spatial reasoning and mathematics
I don't see them at all, all I ever see are pattern recognition questions (which are better since they are not based preexisting knowledge, but can still be practiced)

if you can cheat an IQ test by practicing then it isn't really measuring how smart you are.

Okay, but that doesn't remove the possibility that their IQ is higher than it would otherwise be.

An IQ test consists of about 5 different tests. One short term memory, processing speed, spatial intelligence, verbal intelligence, etc.

There is a pretty strong correlation with childhood bilingualism and high iq iirc.
