Tests were softened to be more equally distributed between verbal and mathematic
Tests were softened to be more equally distributed between verbal and mathematical in order to reduce the sex difference gap. I am not sure this wasn’t a useful correction.
The average is less meaningful than the narrower distribution of females vs males. The same is true of personalities (nature experiments with men, and maintains stability with women).
The meaningful difference is more a matter of verbal-pictoral-discrete-empirical vs physical-spatial-rotatioal-theoretical.
The meaningful difference is more a matter of the value of masculine (stem) vs feminine (relationship) fields.
The gap increases at the tails where there are literally no revolutionary thinkers among women – we can’t produce a single one despite all our efforts.
The test improvement I ask for is predictive capacity which I observe is a failing in the test system because it is difficult to test.
That’s the TLDR version 😉Reply addressees: @Hitchslap1

@curtdoolittle Thank you Curt. You’re a man of many talents. Since you mentioned it, may I ask briefly, if you believe the roughly 3 point mean IQ gap between men and women is due to differences in (g) or test constitution?

“So just as I am separating my personal website from the institute, in order to give the institute breathing room – distance from my early research work”
Really dislike this outcome.
I am against any “distancing”.
Move early work to an archive like
archive(.)naturallawinstitute(.)com, sure, to make the main site more navigable and make the search feature there more specifically functional to institute business.
But hiding from early work, i.e. “distancing”, is not at all what I was hoping to see.
I already believe too much has been removed from public access. I don’t want any of the harsh and ugly process of discovery hidden. I was hoping moving earlier materials to an archive branch of the site would allow for even more of the early efforts to be restored for public access.
It’s unfortunate that this has become the motivation.Original post: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1918157220514050429

Of course. I try to stay current with the field. And additionally I can explain the neuroscience, and can delve into sex differences as well as cognitive differences as (g) increases

@curtdoolittle Thank you Curt. Very perspicacious reply. Have you read the results of the SMPY study as they relate to performance at the 99th percentile and above?

That’s the upper end of midwit range. Benefits continue to accrue through the 140s, though specialization tends to increase, and therefore normative divergence, especially up to 160 – which is about the max testable.
There are declining economic returns in most cases, which is…

Many people believe the benefits of IQ have an upper limit. That above 120 IQ you get diminishing returns.
Do you agree?Original post: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1918111598960656753

@curtdoolittle I’ve agreed with this, except just a few days ago, I started considering the possibility that AI might develop self-interest without anyone’s intent simply by being being trained on human data which do express our self-interest.
