I don't know how to define that. Give me a number on the IQ scale.
Exactly
I'd probably say 85.
yeah but if you put black people in a home that has a "white up bringing" they will be 5-20 points higher pointing them at the same points of whites
Especially since IQ does not = intelligence
12 IQ points are one standard deviation.
so maybe white upbringing makes white kids smart
One of my cousins is down right retarded if judges by iq
and asian upbringing makes kids even smarter
But can fix and build pretty much whatever you ask him too
68% of a bell curve is within one standard deviation of the mean.
it's just like saying that there's more intelligent men than women. Which is true, given that women have less variance on IQ. (of course, that also means there's more dumb men than women too)
I would say that about 15% are "stupid", i.e. more than one standard deviation below mean.
Sorry, one standard deviation is 15, not 12.
That is why I must have been thinking of 85.
IQ is hardly a tool to judge intelligence
It's actually the best tool we have.
I'm gonna save that quote
Again I got a cousin who would score 20 on an IQ test, but can build pretty much anything
it will be useful in the future

Usually the G factor in the IQ is very predictive, to about the same degree for the skills we know it predicts.
So, it is rare to see that two people that both have about the same IQ score very differently on the language and/or math portion of the test.
It does happen, though, that the distribution is a bit different, so the sub scores differ.
So, maybe the skill distribution is a bit different in rare cases, but in general it applies
I dont see how?
Math and language dont get you money
Well, by measuring large numbers of people.
To the tune of millions that have been tested.
Wait, money?
Why are we talking about money now?
Actors make money.
My cousin makes a ton of money, but he's as dumb as a fucking brick
Singers make money.
@Undead Mockingbird @Jasse under that assumption that what you guys have said is true that black people are 15 IQ lower then the avg. White person, would you use that to justify any law or practices?
No.
So if IQ was the only standard how come he can make money?
I am strictly in favor of meritocracy.
