True in principle. But in reality, psychological traits tend to be correlated, and almost never have multiplicative effects on life outcomes.
Pro tip: if a hostile review of 'Human Diversity' by @charlesmurray doesn't even discuss Murray's use of the Mahalanobis D metric for aggregating multivariate data on sex differences (which is discussed 5% of the way into the book), the reviewer hasn't even read 5% of the book.pic.twitter.com/j5fVCbb70z

I wonder if Cordelia Fine will ever be able to read 5% into 'Human Diversity'. She shows no signs of the capacity.

Marco del Guidice has an excellent chapter on using Mahalobis D and other measures of sex differences: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6214/57678db6cb6d095bf4d25cd93c23b28b49de.pdf …
