I wasn’t going to post anything tonight, but I was searching through Netflix to find a good horror film and suddenly I noticed the title The Evolution of Us in the recently added section.
Since I love documentaries about evolution, I decided to click on it and the synopsis of the first two episodes came up. Beside the description of episode two was the image of someone who looked exactly like Steve Hsu. I clicked on episode two and started fast forwarding until the person appeared, and sure enough it was Steve Hsu being interviewed for this series.
I find it interesting how on Steve Hsu’s blog, he describes himself as “Physicist, Startup Founder, Blogger, Dad”. So many people act like becoming a parent is their greatest accomplishment that it’s refreshing to see a parent who dares to mention that last. Indeed it’s almost as if Steve’s listing his identities in order of intelligence. Since being a physicist requires the most IQ, that’s listed first, but to quote Barack Obama, any fool can make a baby, so dad is listed last.

Are east asians really this low IQ? Especially the second question about tolling for suply. This almost makes me fear whatever type of thinking beings youd find in the streets of cairo or lagos…
This one is harder…
I picked D when it should be B. I think i missed the subtle difference between 1 and 3 by not thinking enough about “materialism”. Or maybe its that my grammar is really bad.
1 means that its potentially partially derived from the daily lives of people, and most likely good in utility considering 4. While 3 isnt “most likely good” as it means thats its just the reflection on an society, whether it be good or bad since its not derived partially from the society. In other words, 1 leaves out “unified” while 3 has “unified”, causing the aformentioned difference.
I forgot to add that it being partially derived from the daily lives of people gives it room for adding innovation with good utility, and that 4 makes the probability higher than random as 4 (ie serving people is part of the lives of people).
B and C statements are unrelated to the president statement :
B) arts does not originate from innovation (or imagination or anything but) but from people life observation.
C) this statement mixes the fact that for China’s President there is only 1 good method to do art out of many possible and the results of this method that can be very diverse
I ve tried a version translated in English of the verbal test and it’s funny because of the variety of little tricks … much more than the boring – but better structured – SAT, LSAT and GMAT or GRE verbal questions.

Why dont you keep it as an secret? or atleast guard who gets the information?
Pumpkin, how exactly do you extrapolate the raw scores from the WISC IV extended norms?
Also, why don’t they release the norms?
