taleb literally shows that it only does for the lower quadrant of iq. otherwise, it is useless

you can't say you are measuring openness or creativity with iq from this however. intelligence is extremely complicated. for instance, there is a negative correlation between creativity and working memory

i've heard this claim that iq tests measures pattern recognition but it seems like common sense that is vaguely grounded in reality. for one, if we are talking about crystallized intelligence (the accumulation of knowledge over time as measured by vocabulary and other culturally biased measures), no it does not. however if we are talking about fluid intelligence (the ability to solve novel problems), then there is some merit to the intuition.

even then, i'd argue that it more so measures compositionality (breaking problems into smaller pieces). actually i recall reading an article analyzing this in better detail.

and outside of that, working memory (which strongly correlates with fluid intelligence as well).

studies in racial differences of intelligence abuse statistics even more than does iq

>We found that Lynn and Meisenberg's assessment of the samples' representativeness is not associated with any of the objective sampling characteristics, but rather with the average IQ in the sample. This suggests that Lynn and Meisenberg excluded samples of Africans who average IQs above 75 because they deemed these samples unrepresentative on the basis of the samples' relatively high IQs. We conclude that Lynn and Meisenberg's unsystematic methods are questionable and their results untrustworthy.

race being a social construct is not a null hypothesis fucking retard

this isn't an argument. iq predicts how iq measures are effected after brain injury. ok?
