I often define intelligence as the cognitive ability to adapt, but neurologists speak of neural adaptability, which has a more scientific definition. Neural adaptability is measured by hooking your head up to an EEG monitor and calculating the ratio of brain amplitudes evoked from having you hear a clicking sound at random intervals, to the brain amplitudes evoked from having you hear a clicking sound when ever you press a device.
The higher the ratio, the higher the IQ on average. This is because more adaptable brains conserve energy by not wasting brain activity on what they already expect.
On page 155 of The g Factor, Arthur Jensen suggests that in the general U.S. population, neural adaptability may correlate as high as 0.8 with IQ, which is about as high as two well respected IQ tests correlate with each other.
It seems IQ really is a biological construct and not a cultural one.
Pumpkin Person 
This observation on brain waves is very interesting and seems to fly in the face of those who support an environmental basis to IQ. If possible, could you post some of the parameters of Jensen’s work in this area. The book is quite expensive just for a peak at this data.
There is a pdf available.
It’s not Jensen’s work. He’s citing the research of Edward Schaffer:

Race realist,
There was a critical analysis of the neural efficiency hypothesis within this study:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26650749_Intelligence_and_neural_efficiency
What I found interesting with this study was the women tend to have more verbal brains while men had the most neuronal activation during spatial tasks
“correlates of IQ.
Moreover, in two other studies from our lab we found sex to
interact with task content and/or the ability domain. Neubauer
et al. (2002) found support for the neural efficiency hypothesis (i.e.
negative brain activation–intelligence relationships) for males
predominantly when they performed a figural–spatial task, while
for females the expected negative relationship was supported only
in a verbal matching task (see Neubauer et al., 2005, for a
successful replication and extension). Similar findings were
recently observed in a study by Jausˇovec and Jausˇovec (2008).
The authors report evidence that males showed the inverse IQ–
brain activation relationship only while performing a spatial
rotation task while females did so during identifying emotions in
pictures. Though not directly relevant for this NEH review, sex
differences in brain activation have also been observed during a
verbal fluency task (Gauthier et al., 2009) or in the domain of verbal
creative thinking (Fink and Neubauer, 2006)”
It would confirm my and others assertion that women are less logical, more emotional beings. Not saying they are less intelligent but that their mentality is quicker to rely on aforementioned subsets.
It makes sense. In our evolutionary history, males were the main providers, and their everyday tasks like hunting, and creating tools requires more spatial intelligence than what women hunter gatherer’s did. I’ll elaborate more on this later, I want to read the whole paper first, I just thought you would be interested.

PP is it possible for you to remove clutter that has nothing to do with the topic at hand?
I removed some of it.
Thanks. I like to keep posts on topic. It gets boring looking at off topic posts.
This is very interesting to me and just been looking into this recently.
Apparently high iq people are more efficient and use less glucose for energy. Interesting.

”but in neurologists speak of neural adaptability, which has a more scientific definition”
They always said it, 😉
”Intelligence”
Maybe creativity require more mental energy
while learn something you are naturally skilled (“intelligence”) require less.
Nope. High IQ people use less glucose and use energy more efficiently.
It’s a subject in need of massive amounts of further study and refinement – but imagine how useful it’ll be once perfected!
No “Practice effect” whatsoever, 100% retest accuracy, each time tested the authentic intelligence of the testee is measured and any change is authentic change.
Learn what your brain is naturally capable spend less energy.
Think about new possibilities and spend huge fraction of your time thinking about it require more energy.
If this hypothesis is right so creative process will be at the same time a ”intelligent’ process/ learn quickly — spend less energy + a ”stupid’– less ”intelligent’ process/ try to learn — spend more energy…
easy – learn what your brain is naturally capable
difficult/challenged – try to learn OR challenge new paradigms/paradox etc
neural adaptability may correlate as high as 0.8 with IQ
Is there anything which is more correlated with IQ than neural adaptability ?
Is there anything which is more correlated with IQ than neural adaptability ?
If the correlation really is 0.8, it’s way higher than any other correlate ever discovered, let alone any other biological correlate.
But the result could be an outlier. Seems strange such powerful research would have been ignored for decades even if it is politically incorrect
There is a wikipedia article about neural adaptation. It makes no mention Jensen or IQ. The study must have been contradicted or unreplicated.
Except neural adaptability, which one is the biggest IQ correlate ? The biggest biological IQ correlate ?
Except neural adaptability, which one is the biggest IQ correlate ? The biggest biological IQ correlate ?
Probably the rate that your brain metabolizes glucose while doing cognitive tasks, although that’s not purely biological since the task is psychometric or vdeo games.
Probably the rate that your brain metabolizes glucose while doing cognitive tasks
Is this the biggest IQ correlate, or simply the biggest biological IQ correlate ? Do you have a link on how we mesure it ? What is the actual correlation of this with IQ ?
The ability to measure some cognitive functions through biological observations is going to become reality in a very short time, I guess less than ten years.
At that time, the very concept of IQ fill fall in obsolescence and the definition of intelligence will be refined. This is an active field of research but Jensen’s works are quite removed from it.
Afrosapiens,
Too lazy to get all of the references he cites, but check page 167.

And here’s one ref, though I can’t find the pdf.
http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-4684-4940-2_1
I’ll go through this when I have more time.
But the research on biological observation of cognitive ability has made huge advances very recently. It is almost impossible that robust findings existed by the time Jensen was alive and active.
I’m much more interested in how people differ individually in their brains. What’s different between two people. What similarities do people who score, say, 150 have in their brains or genes? What similarities do people with IQ 85, 100, 115, etc have? That’s much more interesting then correlations and test score numbers.
if I.Q is biological then why do you use crystallized intelligence scores to say that joos are more intelligent than whites?
knowing lots of vocab doesn’t make you smart, it makes you learned.
I hope for a day when you can get an MRI scan to know how smart you are, so that we can finally end the quackery of HBD and their ridiculous claims that Asians and joos are superior to whites, the people who created modernity.
IQ scores ain’t everything.
verbal IQ is more heritable and true
Why?
I would tend to agree but explain your reasoning.
Whites have slightly more testosterone & are more individualistic than East Asians.
According to PP, they also are more schizophrenic (i.e more creative).
How much higher? The difference between blacks and whites is 2.5 to 4.9 percent.
The higher the ratio, the higher the IQ on average. This is because more adaptable brains conserve energy by not wasting brain activity on what they already expect.
The brain integrates new information but first it must discover what information is new to begin with. Brains that map reality faster are more intelligent because they know what information is new information. Higher dimensional representation and categorization is then possible. (The hippocampus consolidates new information)
I think if you born and be ”nurtured’ in a feral state, without other human contact, your ”math” {or whatever very basal} skills will be there and will be used to solve the problems you were finding. The hard-hardware whatever place you are always will be with you, verbalized/culturalized or not, this is the skin of your intelligence, numeric and verbal/language systems are your clothes.
If you born with a brain that is more capable to learn maths, so this ”new” information will be only partly new.
You are ”just” verbalizing your already-inherited /biologically produced mental style, maybe.

Concerning the article, I wonder if East Asians would beat Jews on neural adaptability, what’s PP opinion on this ?

No.
Why am I being asked?

What’s your IQ ?
I’d speculate globally in the 130’s.
I’ve never taken an official test that I remember particularly well – I took one as a child and was told I had exceptionally high verbal scores.
(1) How tall are you ?
1.88m
(2) What’s your IQ ?
I won’t tell, that would kill the fun of having psychotic idiots deeming my intelligence mediocre.
As I keep saying and Pumpkin keeps ignoring, there are some other ways asides from paper pen IQ testing to tell intelligence.
There is a guy on quora who proposes he has a test that can tell IQ by the brightness of the eyes. I tend to believe him actually. People with bright eyes, not from narcotics like Hilary, have ‘shine’.
Also the Huntingtin CAG cycles

Although Zion decided to quasi legalise insider trading recently:
http://fortune.com/2016/12/06/supreme-court-insider-trading-salman-hedge-fund/
If they don’t get Cooperman for insider trading you may as well stop reading accounts and start bribing executives to give you info just as long as you shoplift hair spray immediately after and then they can use their retarded logic to try you for shoplifting whilst insider trading instead.
Supreme court has gone off the reservation with some decisions under blackmail and bribery.
Citizens united being a good example of why paedophiles should not be supreme court judges.
“they” did.
there were a dozen people indicted for insider trading during the 80s.
every single one was a jew.
and that was when wall street was still half white gentile.
PP, can you tell us a little bit more about your relationship with Marsha ?
She has an Internet crush on me because I’m the most genuine, moral, innocent and non/judgemental guy she’s ever encountered. I find it a bit condescending actually, but she comes to my defence & i moderate most of the vicious hate she gets for being an escort
The two of you never ever met ?
No. I’m afraid to meet her in person.
The alpha male is scared once again.
To be fair, I admit I wouldn’t excited about meeting her for many easily understandable reasons.
And you’re rich and handsome, you can find a girl that’s not a wicked whore.
No problem finding women; not cause im good looking but because women are desperate, especially in my age range (30s).I think I’m okay looking but i also think we’ve evolved to overrate our own appearance.
One thing about Marsha; if she’s really IQ 170, imagine how smart our kids would be 🙂
“but i also think we’ve evolved to overrate our own appearance.”
How am I supposed to interpret this ?
“One thing about Marsha; if she’s really IQ 170, imagine how smart our kids would be”
You wouldn’t mind having a actual son of a bitch ?
Anyway, hurry up, she’s almost menopaused.

Vicious hate…from Afro. If I start talking about raping women on this blog, I get put in moderation never never land, but if magic negro says it he gets a book deal.
They have no moral agency.
I’m not a big fan of her ‘low IQ autistic people’ comment.
I hope she reads a dictionary some day and realises what autism is.
And someone that keeps banging on about a 170IQ score in every comment she makes strikes me as not having a 170IQ.
Its not like I’m seeing stars reading her commentary.
Marsha and Deal with It are both the same person, or they’re guys pretending to be women.

Anything’s possible.
Her arrival and contribution to this blog are atypical PP.
How did she get to know so much of you PP ?
I don’t think they’re the same person.
I think you could make a much better case Dildos was.
And she/he/xie isn’t.
Pretty sure Marsha is someone’s sock puppet. Always appears at just the right time.
I wouldn’t be shocked if she’s asomeone’s sock puppet.
On the other hand, high IQ people have good timing
They’re not.
PP, just check the IPs of those commenters.
>imagine how smart are kids would be 🙂
>are
Best joke all week, chuckled hard.
Oh come now Pump, that was funny as shit. Own it.
🙂
I like being Sherlock.
Well one thing that does make sense is that she has a Phd in Art History and her presumably american family holidayed in Italy.
Holidaying abroad for the vast majority of americans is rare, as they’re too poor, but art history is a very upper class thing for someone to let their daughter do. And thus, holidaying in Italy is something that family would indeed do. That’s an ok sign of IQ heredity.
Marsha also said her parents are both psychologists.
My hunch is Marsha was tested as a child and got that score from her parents and has been clinging to to it ever since.
Pumpkin can weigh in on childhood IQ testing. Who knows, maybe its still valid.
The final piece of the jigsaw is that she says she is 6’3. Which is gigantic for a white woman. But is evidence for IQ if you believe Pumpkin. This shows great nutrition of course, and high Test, maybe explaining her voyage into escort land.
It may also show she is mixed race.
Which would also explain prostitution.
But not the IQ.
>I dismiss it therefore.
I think it’s possible she is as smart as she says actually and that crucially it belies the fact that not all high IQ people like to do academic things, or have low risk lifestyles, given sufficient hormonal profile. But this is speculation.
She needs to post a picture and let me use my magical powers!
Can’t be that hard to find a 6’3 Manhattan escort to be fair.
Is Marsha of dinaric descent?
My hunch is Marsha was tested as a child and got that score from her parents and has been clinging to to it ever since.
She said she scored 160 on the WISC-R as a kid. The WISC-R only goes up to 160. She also said she scored 1590 on the 1994 SAT, which some equate to an IQ of 170 (if the SAT is considered an IQ test). Also claims to have a freakishly huge head.
Pumpkin can weigh in on childhood IQ testing. Who knows, maybe its still valid.
In some ways it’s more valid because our educational paths have yet to diverge, so environment is more controlled. Also, by around age 10 or so, your brain is virtually fully grown, at least size wise.
The final piece of the jigsaw is that she says she is 6’3. Which is gigantic for a white woman. But is evidence for IQ if you believe Pumpkin. This shows great nutrition of course, and high Test, maybe explaining her voyage into escort land.
The IQ-height correlation within countries and within cohorts, at least developed countries, seems to be almost entirely genetic. Jensen argued it was because both height and occupational status (a proxy for IQ) are socially valued, so people who possess an above average amount of both tend to intermarry, causing the genes to associate.
Of course, Marsha could be smart enough to lie about one or two details to throw the scent.
Sniff Sniff.
Her parents also helped her a lot, according to her. They said if she wanted to be a prostitute, she was going to do it the right way. Everything was going to be above board and legal. They flew with her to many different escort services around the world to find one they could trust, and consulted with other psychologists and their own lawyers, according to Marsha.
Marsha could be smart enough to lie about one or two details to throw the scent.
She hasn’t broken any laws as far as I know. It’s not legally prostitution unless it’s sold as such. She says she works for a major escort service that has many Ivy League lawyers making sure all their “i” are dotted and “t”s are crossed. Escort services are selling a woman’s time, not sex, and whether she wants to have sex during that time is up to her. She’s probably paid more in taxes than anyone here, both because her income is so high, and because she’s extremely liberal.
“Escort services are selling a woman’s time, not sex, and whether she wants to have sex during that time is up to her.”
Sure thing. If you believe that you’ll believe anything.
Sure thing. If you believe that you’ll believe anything
I’m talking from a legal technical perspective. That’s how they’re able to operate openly.
It can be dressed up in all the language it wants. It’s still prostitution.
“She hasn’t broken any laws as far as I know.”
There might be a difference between the income she declares to the IRS and the +$250K she claims to make here.
The IRS knows those girls can’t live in style in manhattan on less than $250 k a year. Even i can’t afford manhattan
1.6 million persons live in Manhattan, there are 400,000 millionaires, in New York City. Let’s assume all the millionaires live in Manhattan, that’s only 25% of the population. Are the remaining 75% living in housing projects or in the sewers ?
With her IQ 170, she can dissimulate income and wealth if she wants.
Another strange thing: what kind of successful whore is still in the business at 40 ? Earning $200k a year after taxes for 20 years requires that you save only $50k a year to hit the one million mark. And I’m not including interests from savings.
But since Marsha seems to be in contact with you now, I suppose she’s gonna answer these questions on her own.
You’re grossly underestimating taxes and expenses in manhattan; that’s why they’re not all millionaires
Chris Langan has a 190 IQ & worked as bouncer into his 40s
The much bigger mystery is how you make 6 figures a year off investments
According to the source below, Manhattan’s median household income is $66K a year. IQ 170 Marsha is perfectly able to declare $140K a year and successfully dissimulate the rest.
And there is nothing mysterious about my investment income. I’ve had Bank accounts created by my parents from the time I was adopted, I’ve worked as a model and in regular jobs during school holidays ever since I was 16 (I volunteered overseas only once a year), my studies costed relatively little and I have a good financial adviser.

“Pobably wants to avoid even the appearance of inpropriety”
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust a whore that much.
“Worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?”
Sure, both my parents come from very old money families and have earned a lot of money in their lives. I’ve never been mysterious about that, upper class is not upper middle class.
