A Bunch of Human Biodiversity Nerds Suddenly Have a Lot of Concerns About IQ When They Become the BIPOC

The actual mean IQ rank-order of these degrees, from highest to lowest:

Are those IQs inferred from standardized exams? Or from actual IQ exams? I wonder if robust measurements by academic levels and disciplines have ever been made.

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

Your IQ fluctuates throughout the day and from day to day. Also, familiarity with the test can affect subsequent scores. There's no truly reliable way to quantify intelligence.

(For irrelevance: my IQ tests at 168.)

I no longer believe in IQ now that it does not matter for me.

SAT's probably not a good indicator, it's a test taken before college, what's the spread after college. And you might be able to get something interesting taking the ingest SAT scores, then comparing with the graduating SAT scores. Got me wondering where they publish that data.

Uh. Naw, neighbor.

I trust your understanding of data. Yet every PhD program in Literature seem to be 20% literature and 80% Marx, Freud, Frankfurt, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, Butler, A. Rich, Kristeva, and a gaggle of other post-structuralists and, Gott helfe uns, 'postmodern thinkers'.

Well, to be fricking fair, you need abstract thinking to understand postmodern thought which is why so many shitlibs fail hard at it.

Also helfe or hilf (the imperative form)?

That's got its own bias. Philosophy and Lit degree holders read a lot so naturally will score high on SAT and GRE (where the math portion is pretty basic, but reading comp questions could get tricky)

lol "not fair they read a bunch"

Are these creatures self aware?
