I've suspected this might be true for a long time. simply from observing friends, etc. I hope more research is done in this area.

- hga 19y agoI wonder about this. There's something to it, e.g. MIT students are overwhelmingly eldest or only children, but I can't see how individual observations like you and I can make would be able to distinguish a 3 to 4 point IQ difference. Finer measurements and larger sample spaces are required, I'm sure.
- cstejerean 19y agoI certainly can't tell apart people with a 3 point IQ difference but as the article mentions it is possible that this kind of differences would accumulate over time. For example the difference between an A and a B is pretty small on a case by case basis, but it's a big difference between a straight A student and B average student.
