IQ is the best predictor of everything positive. The rest of social science is creative writing. If your IQ is less than 160, you will have a hard time. For example, you won't get a job at OpenAI.
A guy with an IQ less than 160 will typically have an easier time getting laid without paying.
this thread was just a bait made by the IQ clique. NUKE THEM
Why are mathematicians so resistant to accepting IQ as the strongest predictor of success? The guy in the thread about legacies was right: Fields medallists come from high IQ families.
No other metric in all of science is as successful as IQ. This is not talked about by the woke.
nobody gives a fuck. no serious mathematician has ever taken an IQ test. no serious mathematician would take seriously a 1-dimensional measure like IQ to be predictive of high dimensional things like intelligence or even success
I think you're misunderstanding what "predictive" means. But yes, the fibers are more interesting than the image of that map.

I understand what predictive means and I stand by what I said

Psychometricians searched for decades for any positive outcome not correlated with IQ, without success.
The g factor obtained through factor analysis captures the most sought after aspects of intelligence. Read Human Cognitive Abilities by Caroll. The only reason to ignore this is that you are hoping that you are smarter than you are. Maybe you don't want a regression to predict that your chance of winning the FM is below .1%, which can be hard to swallow.

Hey guess what shitheed? Solomon Golomb, respected professor at USC, was a member of the Mega Society.
Stephen Hawking took an IQ test to check his brain function after falling down some steps.
I don’t even think IQ determines the worth of a person. As I said in the OP, personality is crucial. One who is as neurotic, introverted, and disorganized as myself is bound to be a lemon. Let me take solace in my intelligence, at least, while I can.
Do you get laid with that personality?
LOOOOL, you’re too dumb to even get self-deprecation.
You deserve to get beaten to death by a troupe of monkeys, for you are a monkey.

This is false. A 160 IQ guy can devise highly effective strategies based on statistics and psychology. Do you think the 160 people are generally incapable of manipulating things to their benefit. If so, then Bill Gates, Philipe Dauman, Ed Thorp, and Warren Buffett laugh at you.

I'm actually skeptical. For starters, the existence of a predictive variable doesn't preclude multivariate analyses.

Even Freud couldn't figure out what a woman wants, and his psychology IQ was through the roof. Thanks to Cyndi Lauper, today we have the answer. It is so much easier to check the answer than to come up with it, especially for sensitive questions like these.
