@KarmaKaiser @sarahdoingthing Updated strongly in that direction. Doubt it's the whole story but think highly likely it's major component.
@Meaningness @sarahdoingthing Yeah, I carefully elided that point bc 140 characters, & it opens a bunch of issues.

@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing Though if the tail were really that fat, we'd expect to see more than a small handful of people at 190+ IQ. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing Any reason to think numbers are meaningful above ~150? -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing There is the problem of 150s trying to design a test for 200s, yes. -
@St_Rev Don’t know if measure is stable on test retake, much less on alternate measures, much less correlation with real world performance. -
@Meaningness IIRC they usually have about a 5-10 point wobble between sittings. -
@St_Rev Yeah but you’d expect more at the extremes, for multiple reasons that don’t fit in 140 chars -
@Meaningness True true. I'm actually trying to compare my actual g to Gilles' via comparison to respective population means.

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing Am curious about research on very high IQ (e.g. is it even meaningful) but not curious enough to bother googling -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing I think@intelligenceres is researching that
