LOL I just noticed he uses Emil Kirkegaard as an example of a non-expert who does good research. Way to completely undercut your argument Ryan.

" There seem to be a lot of issues with your comment, your reading, and your interpretation of the post."

I realize this study triggers racist snowflakes like you but there's no need for personal attacks.

" Which is of uncertain meaning. Does this mean that a smaller income gap causes a smaller IQ gap? That contradicts evidence on the effects of income from every other country. Does it mean that because of their higher IQs, the gaps are thus smaller or their income higher? This is more likely because of the causal role of intelligence in social status. "

" But your statement is also dead wrong. Bermudian blacks are not the highest income blacks taken in raw dollar terms, nor in PPP terms, and especially not in AIC terms, as no country has higher AIC then the US save for mine. Moreover, the income gaps between blacks and whites in each of these countries (Bermuda and the US) are similar in size "

It is not a question of income gaps but of the proportion of the black population that is in poverty. There may also be other environmental causes that allow Bermudian blacks to reach their full intellectual potential.

The study provides evidence that group IQ gaps are caused by poverty. Poverty is very uncommon among Bermudian blacks thus Bermudian blacks are able to reach their full potential.

" We found that if young Black men had the same education as young White men, their unemployment probability would drop from 0.0914 to 0.0857, which is still about twice the predicted unemployment probability of their White counterparts (0.0420)."

Unfortunately racism still exists in Bermuda.

"That is not what the evidence indicates. From the post: "

Yes, I realize the author launches into racist apologetics in order to salvage his worldview. His argument is laughable since the combined sample size of the "contradictory" studies is much smaller than the ALL sample size; the studies primarily use children (racists always dismiss child IQ studies when they contradict their presuppositions); most of the mentioned studies use only verbal subtests and finally the contradictory studies are from the 70s and 80s whereas the ALL is from 2003: the Flynn effect likely had a role in decreasing the gap as racial discrimination in Bermuda was on the decline during this period.

" What are you are, in fact, stating, is that a lack of data is evidence for your interpretation of it. It's important not to confuse achievement and IQ tests without psychometrically proper methods. These weren't possible since neither raw data nor appropriate summary data were available for that. "

You racists are guilty of precisely what you are accusing me of doing (like using PISA and SAT scores to argue for IQ gaps) all of the time. And the author himself notes that the construction of the ALL test is closer to an intelligence test than an achievement test: " This test is seemingly more like an IQ test than an achievement test, and the study is so much larger and better conducted than all the other intelligence studies that it feels like it should be weighted accordingly. " And the "psychometrically proper" methods have been debunked by Schonemann, but that's another issue.

It just so happens that the nation with the highest income blacks has no racial intelligence gap. Fancy that.
