Is this why I scored in the 25th percentile on the GRE Math section but 95% on the verbal? 
Here we have arch-environmentalist Nisbett making fun of Jews! Can we get at SJW demonstration already? :ppic.twitter.com/04CqvihOMY

Jews don't have low math, they have low spatial (mid math). You're just ordinarily verbally tilted like the typical social scientist. :p https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=3925 (orig by

Criminology = lower intelligence? Pretty sure Boutwell would take offense (or simply say 'on average')
-
Pretty sure that he will not take offense and sure he knows. Stereotypes about majors wrt. ability are highly accurate. Still, someone managed to bizarrely misunderstand this relationship... http://rpubs.com/EmilOWK/academic_fields_sex_IQ …

Hahahaha that's the one he thinks might have a genetic basis
-
Nisbett apparently has no issue contributing to stereotype threat about Ashkenazi spatial ability, and concludes it's genetic based apparently on his stereotypes and anecdotes!

This is hilarious.

Also, imagine if I said, "I believe that group X is bad at Y because I know 3 people from that group and boy are they terrible at Y." I don't think that would go over so well.....

There's decent info on not-so-good Jewish spatial ability. Some test results, as well as occupational patterns. Few painters, big involvement in abstract. Few sculptors. Few architects.
-
Occupational patterns could be opportunity cost for merely average spatial ability.

I talked to someone who had worked in the Manhattan project: he contrasted Fermi's very visual style of thinking with Teller's algebraic-manipulation style.

I've studied differences in people's internal visual ability and am interested in where the authors information comes from. I'm Jewish and have a very weak internal visual ability. Most of my cognition happens in language. Interested in the behavioral results that would follow.
