      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

      He actually supports ways for people to demonstrate their ability without general education or mere standardized testing, like having programmer tests that merely test ability. I thought that you were stalking him, so how come you didn't know?

      Arthur Chu Retweeted Aster, internet archaeologist

      Scott specifically says he thinks the "discrediting of IQ testing" caused the student debt crisis and if we could include IQ test results in job apps most people wouldn't need to go to collegehttps://twitter.com/ArsonAtDennys/status/1362153191102677001?s=20 …

      Here are the emails by @slatestarcodex that show he is a racist eugenics supporter. Emails leaked by @TopherTBrennan who deleted their tweets just now.

          He actually supports multiple things. It's almost like he's a complicated person.

          Cool, and I am talking about the things he supports which are terrible, which being "complicated" is not any kind of excuse for (Everyone is complicated, including the people Scott dismisses as simple)
