Not disagreeing, but the gaps seem to be a % of IQ, bigger for smarter people.

I'm saying that 130 verbal IQ and 160 spatial is more likely than 100 verbal and 130 spatial.

I don't think that's true, but also I don't think that has anything to do with g.

The issue is how much explanatory power "g" has, which involves correlation between intelligence types.

My view is that the correlation is lower at the high end than it is for the more typical people the stats are calculated from.

Do you happen to have any evidence against my view here, then?

You're advancing the claim, you're the one who has to defend it. My claim is that 'g' pops out of a PCA as the first factor.

I wasn't disagreeing with that. IQ tests don't work well above 140, and there isn't a lot of statistics about people I'd consider 160+.

So, if my personal experience is out, what kind of evidence would you consider valid?

You'd want to show that the correlation plot wasn't elliptical. TBH what you're *probably* seeing is a restriction of range phenomenon.
