- JohnFen 3y ago> it is a good benchmark of intelligence. This is not well-established, and is subject to a great deal of dispute amongst experts in the field.
- eldritch_4ier 3y agoWhat is incredibly well established is that g is incredibly predictive for many life outcomes from income to educational attainment to drug addiction. This is what IQ test measures. The only thing disputed is whether g is the same thing as “intelligence”, and the only dispute there is from softer science fields because “intelligence” is a word without a precise definition and a lot of feelings and opinions wrapped up in it.
