Ah, but it's not so much about "less intelligent" than about "lower IQ", which assumes that IQ is actually a good measure of intelligence!

- concordDance 6y agoIndeed it does. The question of how good a measure IQ is is an interesting one. Scores on Raven's progressive matrices certainly correlate well with all sorts of things (working memory, income, ability to do computer programming, ability to write a popular story), so I guess it depends in how you are defining "intelligence".
- BlueTemplar 6y agoAccording to Taleb, low IQ actually is... but not high IQ !
- concordDance 6y agoDo you have a source for this? I can find him saying it could be true (if it weren't for test scores influencing later worklife via people judging you for them) but not actually saying it is true.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoYou're right, I poorly formulated that sentence.
