Equality is a false God. | The rights of man is fraud. Christ's ethics are for creeping things — True manhood? Smiles at God.| I don’t exist in real life.

can’t be blank 🔥Kareem Carr | Statistician 🔥 Do people actually get sorted by IQ nowadays? I don't think I've even been given an IQ test.
What usually happens is that people are getting selected by various exams, job interviews and so on, which are designed to predict their performance at certain tasks. And it so happens
can’t be blank 🔥Kareem Carr | Statistician 🔥 It has its limitations and is not super predictive for a single individual. But when sampled over the population, it is strongly correlated with various other important things like life outcomes.
RaceRealist 🔥Kareem Carr | Statistician 🔥 Why? What is a measurement in your opinion?
IQ is a number, that can be measured repeatedly within some uncertainty and it has some predictive power. How is it not a measurement?
Oleg Eterevsky 🗯 🔥Kareem Carr | Statistician 🔥 Not really. What is fairly well known is that on a particular IQ test on a particular day, given by a particular tester he scored about 125. His IQ was clearly much higher than that and were he to have been retested under diff circumstances he surely wld have scored much higher.
🔥Kareem Carr | Statistician 🔥 Harvey Specter 🌐 That’s a feature, not a bug
Being extremely good at rote memorization correlates only weakly-to-moderately with general intelligence
If your IQ test shows good memorizers to be universally brilliant, your IQ test is wrong
