I am surprised that g played no role or was it just not measured.
Edit. I have just read the original study and what a methodological mess. Of course g was not measured.
- slavik81 10y agoWhat's g?
- unimpressive 10y agoGeneral intelligence, the underlying factor that an IQ test is supposed to be measuring.
- danieltillett 10y agoTests of general intelligence do measure g quite accurately - the debate is what g really is and what is its link with "intelligence".
- swift 10y agowhat's the role you expect g to have played? based on my own experience, how intelligent you are seems to have little or no correlation to whether you use or abuse drugs.
- danieltillett 10y agoIn your own experience how are you measuring the g of the people you know? It is really dangerous to rely on the people you know to predict causes since the people you know are not a good cross section of the population. It is like people who say how did politician x get elected when everyone I know voted for his opponent. For what it is worth my personal experience is that the use of drugs or alcohol are not closely correlated with my estimate of a persons g, but major abuse problems are quite negatively correlated.
