There's this wonderful tonic called 'coffee'... have you heard of it? ;)
If you take 5 minutes to read this thread, you'll know more about IQ than 80% of journalists and social scientists.https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/1057962279713435650 …

This thread doesn't reconcile or explain IQ's weird contradictions. Why does heritability increase with age and why is this highly heritable trait increasing *dramatically* between generations?
-
The Flynn Effect is not g-loaded (even Flynn himself now admits this); and the g factor is the most heritable component of IQ scores. There's some evidence that g is even decreasing. The cause of the FE is unknown but is plausibly due to practice effects and the like.

Reading in general for information, especially about IQ, no doubt positively correlates with a higher IQ; journalists of the modern variety & social scientists seem to read to confirm their narrative, especially about IQ, which no doubt positively correlates to a lower IQ.

Observe, the lefty denialist in action: The untestable anecdote-based argument, the "you may be a racist" shot across the bow, the shared concern for how people COULD use this info, and the proffering of his alternative hypothesis on inherited wealth (the only explntn allowed).pic.twitter.com/vDLfMssHB4

Is IQ gradually diminished generation to generation? My grandad scored a 140, my dad a 127- I haven’t taken it but I assume I’m in the 120’s mark. Would IQ correlate to personality development? I hypothesize it would to an extent
-
There is a phenomenon called regression to the mean where the offspring of people who display an extreme observation in any given trait tend to cluster closer to the average as the "luck" that produced the higher score diminishes.

Ok, you've sold me. If I wanted to give IQ tests to prospective employees, where do I go? Do I need licensed psychologist to administer tests?
-
Wonderlic test could help you out, that’s a legal test employers can administer. My dads company just made him and other employees take it- I don’t think you can hire/fire based off it but you can rearrange positions maybe
