- haihaibye 7y agoThey correlate and as I said are 'easily measured.. proxies for intelligence' You can't just sequence people who have accomplished great things and are widely recognised as geniuses as there aren't enough of then and they're busy. We need huge sample sizes. Ideally, you'd sequence a million people and have them sit rigorous tests, interviews etc. But it's way cheaper and faster to have them tick boxes on forms.
