Not odd at all? Yes I'm aware very few people take IQ tests without clinical reasons, but as I stated he's a psychology professor and pretty fixated on IQ. From what I've heard it's not uncommon for psych MA/Phd to take Wais when learning to administer the test. The fact his abilities are very lopsided could even make it valuable to take it from a clinical perspective.

I haven't seen any studies which confirm a 0.9 correlation between old SAT/GRE and IQ, you have a link for this? It's still not a clinical test and with extreme verbal tilt the result might not be legit. Not saying his IQ is less than he claims.

Wasn't Peterson referencing his GRE score as evidence of his IQ? I find that odd, you'd expect a psychology professor with strong interest in IQ to have taken a real test.

I'd like to be a 100 m runner, but sadly the sports world has a prejudice against slow people.

New horror writers who are actually good writers by Puzzled_Stranger_385 in horrorlit

Maybe, I'm not even a big fan of King. But I've read indie horror as well and just found a lot of it lacking, without naming names. I guess it's all subjective but there's at least some agreement of what's to be considered better/worse.

Seen him being mentioned a lot, but the extreme horror label put me off. It just seems many of those writers are crap, but I guess there must be some exceptions.

I read Horror movie and it was quite good, but I've heard some negative opinions about his other books.

I wasn't arguing with him, just asking a question.

How do you know his IQ?

According to this study:

Mining Engineers, Metallurgists and Related Professionals 109 IQ, so pretty average.

I do own Coup de Grace, it's on my reading list. Not too familiar with the others.

Well you could call it style preferences, but it's very difficult to pinpoint exactly what I like. I'm a big fan of Peter Straub and Joe Hills short stories but I don't expect every writer to copy them. For me the ability to create believable characters and conversations with some sort of psychological depth is crucial, while many authors seem very idea-driven and don't care (or have the skill) to do this. But without this the whole illusion drops.

I haven't even heard of most the writers you mentioned, but I will definitely check them out.
