    Note 'executive function' is basically the current PC euphemism for IQ. Learning more languages doesn't seem to make you smarter. It just helps you talk with more folks.https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/1130516806140141572 …

        EF correlates about .9 with IQ. Conceptually distinct, but not empirically distinct.

        I always thought 'Executive Function' was closer to the Big 5's Conscientiousness rather than IQ? I know some very high IQ individuals who will forget to turn in papers, show up late, etc. To me that means they have poor executive functionality

        If it’s a euphemism, how would one accommodate existence of gifted students with executive function deficits? One could call them 2e, but many students have high IQs but need targeted training for becoming proficient in the skills encompassed by EF. Not making claim against study
