      Okay, well, Scott clearly thinks whether high-IQ or low-IQ people are the ones doing important jobs is *very* important and has talked about this several times

      You'll probably accuse me of eugenics as well now, but I'd prefer my GP not to believe in acupuncture and actually know something about medicine

      A really interesting fact about IQ was that there was a survey given to Canadian Mensa Members (you can only get membership if you’re proven to score in the 98th or higher percentile of iq) and 44% of them believed in astrology and 56% in alien victors.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/14952987_Dysrationalia_A_New_Specific_Learning_Disability …

      There is extensive research showing that more educated people tend to have more extreme beliefs than the less educated, suggesting that education increases rationalization ability, rather than correctness, or else the beliefs would narrow towards the truth. 1/2

      Yet opinionated beliefs are not the same as the ability to perform a task. This is why it's important to have democracy to set the agenda, but give the jobs to those who are most capable of doing them.

      I do not believe that testing for the ability to perform a task without actually observing someone performing the task for real is a trivial task And I believe the idea that one can test *generally* for the ability to "perform tasks" (the g-factor) is false

      Note that Scott Alexander is actually a big fan of testing by actual performance on a task.

      The problem with this is that companies often have hundreds of applicants. If every company has to measure the actual ability to do the job, which often takes days, the costs hiring will explode. 1/2

      One of the major benefits of education is that the cost of testing people is born only once, but that many companies can then very easily check that the person passed those test. That testing is also very extensive (many years long), which...

      offers important information beyond just the ability to do the work, like being able to not be too disruptive, the ability to stick to things long term, etc. These tend to be very important to companies, but they are very hard to check during a brief test.

      Okay Scott thinks that the existence of four-year colleges as a "social signaling" mechanism is mostly a huge waste of money and time and that our society could be improved if some or all of it were replaced by standardized testing

          Testing and teaching are not the same. IQ tests are deeply eugenicist and racist at their core and by design.

          When I was at high school, it was already quite obvious to me that a large percentage of the exam grades were determined by generic abilities.

          The basic idea is that companies want certain native abilities. In the past, you could only graduate high school with those abilities, so lots of jobs merely required high school. Then people thought that they could increase employability by making high school easier, so... 1/3

          more people graduate and have the piece of paper that employers demand. However, employers didn't want the paper, but the abilities. So they responded by demanding a tougher level of education. The result ever increasing spending on education, even though many would be... 2/3
