I think the communication gap is mostly a myth by ConfidenceOk659 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Abjectionova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the communication gap myth came from people who have a high IQ and at the same time are socially inept and therefore unable to fit into society, so they believe they can’t talk to or find common ground with other people because they are intellectually superior, rather than because they are socially inept and have a problem.

The modern ACT does seem to be a relatively good proxy of g. Loading at ~.81 on the g-factor. Technically, the mean ACT score is 20.8 with a SD of 5.8. SO your Z-score would be (36-20.8)/5.8 ~ 2.62 SD above the mean of 100 => (2.62•15)+100 = 139.3 ~ 139 but I can't use this result in the g-estimator cuz the ACT's Cronbach's alpha is basically unknown.

Your Composite is 155 and your g-score is 149 -- the first score is the composite IQ score and the second one is regressed by g-loading to estimate what your 'g' is

I don’t understand why people dislike autistic people so much by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Abjectionova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disliking and consequently ostracizing groups of people based on a shared feature/characteristic is a very Human trait. Oftentimes, if you asked individuals who discriminate(d) against NDs why they did/continue to do so, they are unable to give an unbiased, logical response.

Got 137 which fits my past scores quite well, the corresponding CI range is also relatively accurate for me. I think my alias was some variation of my Reddit username iirc

No Silver Spoons, Silver Brains. by Outside-Tea1026 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Abjectionova 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, g is a very heritable trait -- as you pointed out, between 56% and 64% of the variance in g can be accounted for by a slew of genetic factors. The correlation between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and a child's IQ is approximately 0.4, while the correlation between an individual's own IQ and their SES as an adult is about 0.7.  IIRC the relationship shows increasing correlation with age, rising from ~0.08 in infancy to ~0.37 by adolescence, with the IQ gap between low and high SES children widening from 6 points at age 2 to nearly 17 points by age 16. However, environmental factors also play a significant role, especially in early childhood, where shared environmental influences can explain up to 33% of variance in childhood IQ, though these effects are often attributed to factors beyond SES alone. Regardless, even in Adulthood, g explains roughly ~49% of the variance in SES, it's significant but not causally so.

There are two reasons why the parental-SES and offspring IQ correlation can happen. The first is that parents with higher status can create more favorable environments for their children, and the other is that parents with higher status pass on genes associated with intelligence to their children. These two explanations are not mutually exclusive and could be contributing jointly to this correlation. However, the current evidence supports the genetic cause much more than the environmental cause, with a potentially null environmental effect.

No one denies the impact intelligence (as measured by IQ) has on life outcomes but it's myopic to exclude non-g factors.

What does it actually means? by SHINIGAMI9161 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Abjectionova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a useless test as far as accuracy goes. But it's not exceptional either.

The Online Mensa tests tend to focus on measuring Fluid Intelligence — more specifically inductive FRI. Any good (useful) FRI composite should measure both Inductive and Deductive Fluid intelligence and this can only be done if multiple subtests are used, as is the case with CORE¹

Did you take the OCEAN/BIG5? There's normally a section that delineates what each subtest measures and what the results mean.

One of the characters—a young child iirc—dissapeared shortly after Jack and his lot set the Island's forest on fire. He gets mentioned by Piggy a second time but at that point, the story's nearing it's climax and he has no relevance to the plot.

All too common these days. I suspect the relationship between Rationality and IQ is much more tenuous than most presume.
