The whole point of IQ tests was to test the poor (french farmers & workers children in the early 20th century). But the ancient chinese tests and roman ones too (for entry in the professional army created by the Marius reforms) were also G-loaded.
One of my favorite left friendly IQ results. Lack of gifted programs and screening has the largest effect on low SES gifted kids. Richer ones have a good chance of running into a mentor in their extended family network, poor ones left alone without intellectual peers.https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/1016896943727861761 …

When I started school in the early 70's our district eliminated the gifted programs because 'all students were gifted.' My sister & I were low SES who would've benefited greatly from the network gifted programs would have provided, as mentoring didn't exist for us.

but according to IQ researchers schools don't matter anyway, it's all down to genes - which is it?

IQ testing aside—not all gifted programs use it—the lack of gifted programs absolutely has a disproportionately negative effect on students from low-SES background, for exactly the reasons mentioned.

Really smart people need neither tutors nor mentors. Plenty of successful people are self-made, having come from nothing.

Mentors provide useful guidelines for self study and help with networking. Doesn't require much time or money, but does require a smart mentor.

I didn't mean that mentors can't be helpful. But saying rich white people are successful because of access to mentors is just another excuse from the left.

There does seem to be some effects like that. http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2017/12/nature-nurture-and-invention-analysis.html?m=1 …
