(Note: bottom right graph was not to do with ability, it was to do with the theory behind the associations)

Just goes to show that cherry-picking results from a bigger study - even when the study itself does this - can make your argument a bit off

Also, none of these associations had an R^2 higher than 0.1, which means that temperature/gender at best explains a tiny fraction of performance in these tests

Another point: this study was basically giving an exam to undergraduate university students, so I'd take any suggestions that this would translate easily into workplaces with a huge grain of salt

There are people that function in an office at 32°C?

Who knows? This study was a short set of cognitive tests on German undergrads, not office workers

How is whether or not the subjects majored in business an important factor to consider & their BMI (which would change their thermoregulation) isn’t?? Also these graphs are giving me

I have no idea, I think the study had some major flaws outside of this. They didn't even mention what their participants were wearing! Huge oversight not to at least collect that data

Besides the absence of body temperature measurements, the biggest flaw of the study is the very short test duration (15 minutes). This limits the generalisability of the findings.

I'd say the other big one was the lack of clothing measurements/assessments as well as the extremely homogenous nature of the participant group (German undergrads)
