Now these studies are interesting yet there is an issue: nobody can really define in a clear way what “intelligence may be”, at least from a neurological perspective. In other words what often we call “intelligence” is the result of the methodology used to measure it.
Independent replication of our Danish IQ and politics study. Seems results are quite similar. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289618300060 …pic.twitter.com/1pI8RSqcF4

Hence IQ tests measure what? What they are set up to measure. In other words since we are not sure how scientifically define the exact processes that are supposed to provide intelligence we can always have studied measuring some variables of it but not “the thing” itself

Hence my issue with intelligence studies today. Till we do not have a clear scientific testable idea of what the process of intelligence is and how it operates we cannot have a clear comparative approach to it. I doubt we will be able to have such unified definitive definition.

Random take much? You cannot approach the issue like it's a kind of word game. Read some of the introductions to the topic. There's a lot of data to go thru, >100 years of research.

As neuro-anthropologist I am quite acquainted to the literature. Working with neuroscientists the question I ask remains. There is no evidence of what we really measure with intelligence tests. It is even difficult to measure “intelligence” in non-humans.
