Amen, that would be more convenient for readers. I recently wrote some Javascript for my site to display all my webpages' footnotes near their corresponding reference points.
This is an old one. Glad to see Lynn has been vindicated once again. However, I’ve always had problems in general with smallish IQ differences. In short, what does a 3 point difference in IQ mean in practical terms? Additionally, is a 3 point difference, say between a 100 and a 103 IQ the same as a difference between a 120 a 123 IQ?
This shows that a mean difference of 0.25 SD means that there will be at least twice as many male geniuses. Without accounting for greater varience. People really underestimate tail effects.
This was a great read. The slightly higher intelligence of men, combined with the greater variation in intelligence of men partially explains why women are more conformist than men. More intelligent people tend to be less conformist and vice versa. https://thewaywardaxolotl.blogspot.com/2017/11/rationality-and-freedom.html
Anyone who scored highly in arithmetic , similarities , matrix reasoning , comprehension Is smart. At some point vocab and processing speed increases become useless
Wy don’t you use the actual footnotes feature? 😭

It does matter at the tail ends, especially when you consider the variance differences.
Yes, but most of us are pretty “in the middle”.

Yes, But that was no his claim. It does effect the world we live in because it compounds the greater varience effect.
But even without the greater variance effect here is the result.
For a population of 1 million people in each group:
Group 1 (mean = 0) will have 1,350 people who are at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.
Group 2 (mean = 0.25 SDs higher) will have 2,980 people who are at least 3 standard deviations above the original mean.
