Yes it does, it’s one of the most widely cited studies for IQ research. My uni had the class do a research project based on this study, you might just be looking at the wrong page.

It doesn’t, see attached screenshot of tests carried out on the cohort.

The use of ASVAB score as a stand-in for IQ is contentious amongst researchers.

1 2 3 4 5

What’s more, higher scores on WAIS and ASVAB are even less correlated with eachother than lower scores.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

Posts or links discussing our very good friends should have “NSFW” ticked (Nice Sneers For Winners).

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from our very good friends.

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
