    Isn’t a standard deviation for IQ 20 points or so? If so, what you’re saying is that you took a test 3 times and it gave pretty much the same results all three times.

    That’s like getting different blood pressure readings at different times and dismissing the validity of blood pressure tests. I and other people can raise blood pressure with a thought. That doesn’t negate the value of the test, it just indicates one of its limitations.
