Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

        psychometric results replicate. You just don't like them. Even a lot of researchers in the field don't like them. which is why they replicate.

        Try teaching vector calculus to a class of kids with IQs of 100. If you succeed, I will shake your hand.

        Equatorial Guinea has an average IQ of 59. If you believe IQ 'science', they'd be unable to scratch themselves.

        Not sure how to undo this without flipping the table. How many times have those papers been read and cited as if true? How much of current research and funding is based on them? Who has any incentive to stop their current research and go back to verify? Livelihoods are at stake

        Someone should start an academic journal called "No Result" so academics can work published to build their reputation even if their work shows nothing. Better to at least get it published than the file drawer problem.

        I'm guessing it's not only a problem of social science. I'd bet a large number of negative results get put in the circular file in 'natural' sciences too, or else variables, etc are changed after the fact.
