Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.

Terman study didn't accept two future nobel prize winning phycicists because their iq was too low. Meanwhile, nobody from the Terman study became exceptional.

if we tested the iq of 50 nobel prize winners in the natural sciences do you think the average would be below or above 140? If we tested the iq of 50 insurance industry middle managers do you think the average would be below or above 140? If we tested the iq of 50 black college football players from southern universities do you think the average would be below or above 140? Just curious what your model is for differences in intelligence among real populations.

IQ is important up to a certain deviation.
Then it's luck, work ethic, social skills, team work, and more luck. Mensa is full of losers with no accomplishments.

No, that's not what I asked. Mensa was never mentioned. Do you think that the average iq of 50 nobel prize winners in the natural sciences would be below or above 140? Do you think that the average iq of 50 insurance industry middle managers would be below or above 140? Do you think that the average iq of 50 black college football players from southern universities would be below or above 140?

See pic related. Subtract 16 points from every score because the test they took is outdated and not normed the same way as current tests.

Theoretical physicists (which is arguably the most demanding of g) had nobel prize winners had 141IQ on average.

Also if you want accurate measurement then average only the verbal and spatial scores because most tests don't measure math, at least not in different category which weight as much as the other 2.
