My challenge to folks who are skeptical about IQ tests such as the Stanford-Binet or WAIS-R: Develop your own measure of general cognitive ability and show that it has higher reliability & validity in predicting real-world success. I'll wait.

All I can see is a highlighted quote that makes no sense in the context of my tweet. Explain further please.

IQ tests are one of the best maps available for predicting outcomes, across thousands of studies. How is this quote at all relevant? Just because Taleb, who doesn't understand this field at all, claims it is?

My dear professor Miller: you do not have a clue what has Taleb (or myself, by that token) read on IQ, YET you assume we are clueless. Bravo! That is what triggered him, I am afraid, and it also shows your lack of capacity to carry a balanced discussion on this matter.

What blocks my capacity to have a balanced discussion on this matter is Taleb blocking me and refusing to learn anything, and you repeating the same irrelevant metaphorical point again and again and again....

I cannot blame him for wanting a lean Twitter feed. Anyways, I appreciate you take the time to reply to my tweets since you are a Twitter star and I don’t have many followers. It may be much easier for you persuading me that you are right than doing the same with NNT of course...
