I agree that personal achievement should be the number one criteria

I would say that differences in IQ trump that effect tho

Among other traits

And they aren't necessarily genetic lol

IQ is fairly limited - sure, if the only thing you know about two surgeons was their IQ, you'd probably pick the only with higher IQ

Well that's not the argument

But many other factors are more important (experience, success rate, education, residency, etc)

The argument is that iq yields higher job performance

Even when you control for those things

Depending on the job, perhaps

Especially so for complex jobs like medicine lol

If your IQ is too high, you're going to be too demoralized for certain kinds of manual labor, for example

No lol

That's the threshold hypothesis and it's wrong

Iq predicts linearly across every score

For job performance

And IQ is extremely limited in it's application, you are clearly infatuated with numerical labels to judge someone's value

This is dumb. Iq measures a personality trait which has immense predictive value

It's not the number per se

If you want to vc I'm down

I talk to enough retards IRL, I don't need to waste time VCing another one

Well that's just not nice

No it's not, I'm a mean guy

Edgy

Black kids adopted by White families have the same scores as Whites

Level the playing field and we can talk IQ

have you spent much time around many black people?

I love talking to dumbass white people in their late teens or twenties, that have spent little or no time at all around black people, yet think they've got it all figured out

I am Black

🤡

sure

lol

then why are you surprised that when black kids are raised by white families they have better scores?

that should come as absolutely no shock to you at all

I am NOT surprised

Who said I was surprised

why is it though?

because black people are kinda fucked?

many of them uneducated, raised by parents (or *parent* more likely) who were uneducated

Yes I agree
