IQ

IQ is short for intelligence quota. It is part of an approach to measuring intelligence. Here are some essays on the point. One surprising result from IQ And The Wealth of Nations is the IQ given for Israel. At 94 it is a deal lower than the average of 100. A lot of Jews are very high achievers in science, maths, business, slave trading drug dealing and other fields needing brains and an ability to get away with it.

IQ and Personality
QUOTE
I recently came across some statistics* about the personality traits of high-IQ persons (those who are in the top 2 percent of the population). The statistics pertain to a widely used personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). In the MBTI there are four pairs of complementary personality traits (which I sketch below): Extraverted/Introverted, Sensing/iNtuitive, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. Thus, there are 16 possible personality types in the MBTI: ESTJ, ENTJ, ESFJ, ESFP, and so on.

I read this one as an honest man trying to understand intelligence.

 

IQ And The Wealth of Nations
QUOTE
IQ and the Wealth of Nations is a controversial 2002 book by Dr. Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland. The book argues that differences in national income (in the form of per capita gross domestic product) correlate with differences in the average national intelligence quotient (IQ). The authors interpret this correlation as showing that IQ is one important factor contributing to differences in national wealth and rates of economic growth, but that it is not the only determinant of these differences. The data, methodology, and conclusions have been criticized.
UNQUOTE
The book was criticized. Does this mean it is wrong? No! Does it mean that various people do not like what they wrote? Yes! If honest men look at the evidence and draw conclusions they may well be right and provably so. A lot of propagandists are more than happy to abuse our ignorance of IQ testing, psychology and other issues. It is the same with Global Warming, just another red herring used to distract us from the truth and honest government.

 

IQ Will Put You In Your Place
QUOTE
Imagine several hundred families which face few of the usual problems that plague modern society. Unemployment is zero. Illegitimacy is zero. Divorce is rare and occurs only after the children's most formative years. Poverty is absent - indeed, none of the families is anywhere near the poverty level. Many are affluent and all have enough income to live in decent neighbourhoods with good schools and a low crime rate. If you have the good fortune to come from such a background, you will expect a bright future for your children. You will certainly have provided them with all the advantages society has to offer. But suppose we follow the children of these families into adulthood. How will they actually fare?

More brain equals more money? True of false? Charles Murray has been over the ground, studied the evidence and knows the answer. Brains are better.

 

IQ Test
All right; you can read. You got here. Now see how you rate against the rest. Have you got what it takes to beat the professionals or even the four year olds?
