Nej, jag kan gå med på att dina nuffror stämmer vid SAT test. Men att SAT på intet vis går att översätta till gällande som mänsklig intelligens i sin helhet.
Sen kan du också vända på det.
Kan vi vara överens om att motsvarande förmodligen gäller vid de minst "intelligenta".
En precis lika viktig mätfaktor för mänsklig "intelligens". De mest blåsta i världen är alltså män.

Ja, och SAT är i princip ett intelligenstest vars resultat har långtgående konsekvenser i livet. Har en bra och lättläst sammanfattning av två
professorer här.
SAT scores even predict success beyond the college years. For more than two decades, Vanderbilt University researchers David Lubinski, Camilla Benbow, and their colleagues have tracked the accomplishments of people who, as part of a youth talent search, scored in the top 1 percent on the SAT by age 13. Remarkably, even within this group of gifted students, higher scorers were not only more likely to earn advanced degrees but also more likely to succeed outside of academia. For example, compared with people who “only” scored in the top 1 percent, those who scored in the top one-tenth of 1 percent—the extremely gifted—were more than twice as likely as adults to have an annual income in the top 5 percent of Americans.
Synthesizing evidence from nearly a century of empirical studies, Schmidt and Hunter established that general mental ability—the psychological trait that IQ scores reflect—is the single best predictor of job training success, and that it accounts for differences in job performance even in workers with more than a decade of experience. It’s more predictive than interests, personality, reference checks, and interview performance. Smart people don’t just make better mathematicians, as Brooks observed—they make better managers, clerks, salespeople, service workers, vehicle operators, and soldiers.
IQ predicts other things that matter, too, like income, employment, health, and even longevity.
Vi är helt överens om att det finns fler manliga idioter. Är det någon som någonsin nekat till detta?
