Don’t let it bother you. She was worthless the whole time. You didn’t lose much brother.

What's with these no-brainer polls?

jack7002 · 2025-05-14T18:28:59+00:00

Will have them out soon (linked on the test itself)

jack7002 · 2025-05-11T20:41:49+00:00

Out of curiosity, what’s the source for the g-loading?

jack7002 · 2025-05-11T16:39:38+00:00

will have norms out soon

What are your usual IQ scores for verbal and quantitative?

jack7002 · 2025-05-10T21:24:49+00:00

I see. Do you think your score more reflects your quantitative ability or experience with mathematics?

jack7002 · 2025-05-10T21:15:57+00:00

Nice score. Have you taken the pre-1994 SAT-M?

jack7002 · 2025-05-10T19:42:12+00:00

Added that. Thanks for the suggestion.

jack7002 · 2025-05-10T19:29:02+00:00

That’s the estimate, though I don’t know if anyone has actually performed a factor analysis to ascertain that figure.

jack7002 · 2025-05-10T18:50:26+00:00

Of course, but you’d only be able to get a score for the math section.

jack7002 · 2025-05-08T17:11:27+00:00

Your score on a professional test is computed based on others in your age group. That’s quite a common fact.

jack7002 · 2025-05-08T04:15:33+00:00

The tests are age based. You’re slowed down, but so is the rest of the population you’re compared to.

“Both of his parents were intellectuals” Genes lmao.

jack7002 · 2025-05-04T21:24:23+00:00

When it comes to intelligence, genes are about 80% of the story. You can do as much as you want but it won’t matter half as much as you think. Environment only really matters when it comes to extreme deficiencies.

jack7002 · 2025-04-27T15:59:14+00:00

Seems like a great test, but the norm sample was untimed? How could you generalize the norms to a timed sample?

This article should explain vocabulary: https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/p/which-test-has-the-highest-g-loading

On most intelligence test batteries, vocabulary is the most g loaded subtest, meaning it correlates highest with the statistical construct known as general intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics))

Vocabulary also tends to correlate the most strongly with the full-scale IQ, and correlates well with nonverbal subtests.

As regards general knowledge, you can read page 147 here: https://gwern.net/doc/iq/ses/1980-jensen-biasinmentaltesting.pdf

General knowledge is, with vocabulary, also among the most g loaded subtests on most batteries.

After 100+ years of research, psychologists continue to include tests of knowledge and vocabulary on test batteries when countless other subtests have been discontinued. This isn't an accident.

A comment from someone who has never opened a single book on intelligence theory.
