If I am understanding your definition of "tame", you think that being a 1-in-10 person in terms of intelligence is not significant, right?
If so, I beg to differ; coming first in a race of 10 people is a huge differentiator of abilities.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoThat wasn't what I meant. I mainly meant that it wasnt particularly rare, and as a result, there are tons of people with 120+ IQ in all sorts of roles. The baseline is 10% and because sorting isnt perfect, my priors would lead me to guess that large numbers in most occupations. >If so, I beg to differ; coming first in a race of 10 people is a huge differentiator of abilities IQ, by its very nature, doesnt shed much light on comparative performance. I would say there are big differences top to bottom, but you probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference in ability between the 1st and 2nd person out of 10.
