Back in February, a reader asked me to estimate his IQ. He wrote:
Dear PP,
I’m a long-time reader of your blog. I particularly enjoy your estimates of the I.Q.s of historical and contemporary personalities.
Would you perhaps be interested in estimating my I.Q.?…
…I am underweight, but my head is decidedly small. I am currently unemployed and have never had a job that could be called ‘good’ by any reasonable standard…
…Best wishes,
A small-skulled, unemployed…
When I asked him to elaborate, he had a lot more to say but in part 1 we focus only on the bio-demographic data. He writes:
My height is 5’9″, and my weight is 121.6 lbs.
I have no formal education to speak of beyond high school. I believe that I graduated around the middle of my class.
I am 30 years old, white …
…I’ve long suspected that I have Asperger’s (and scored 1.9 SD above the mean on Paul Cooijmans’ ‘Aspergoid’ scale), but I have not sought a formal diagnosis…
… My current favorite writers are Schopenhauer and Cioran (I don’t know whether this is relevant or helpful)…
…Politically, my sympathies are broadly anti-democratic. Wilhelmine Germany is close to my ideal society…
…Strictly speaking, I am an atheist, but I find much of value in Theravada Buddhism. I believe that I will survive the death of this body…
…My head circumference is 21.75 inches…
I begin with the fact that he’s a long-time reader of my blog. Anonymous polls suggest my readers average genius level IQ of about 129 (U.S. norms). Not because of the quality of my writing, but because the topic of IQ interests a lot of super high IQ people.
The next question that needs to be answered is whether this reader is brighter or duller than my average reader. The fact that he is unemployed doesn’t tell me much because he’s still young, may have psychological issues, and we’re in the middle of a pandemic. But with only a high school education, he’s certainly much less educated than my average reader and education is perhaps the single strongest demographic proxy for IQ (though not as strong as it was in the 1950s).
On the other hand his favorite writers are Schopenhauer and Cioran, implying more intellectual interests than most of my readers.
But with a head circumference of only 21.75″, his brain is way smaller than my average readers’.
But part of the reason it’s small is because he is so light and low weight/height ratio is a sign of genius.
Head size adjusted for body size
Using 2012 data from the U.S. army, the reader’s head circumference is about 1.36 standard deviations below average for an man (bottom 10%).
But the reader’s weight is 2.12 standard deviations below average for a man, and since the distribution of weight is positively skewed, his normalized deviation from the mean is 2.66 SD below the mean (bottom 0.4%).
Given that head size correlates about 0.41 with weight in U.S. men, his weight predicts his cranium would be be 2.66(0.41) = 1.09 SD below average.
Thus his cranium is only 0.27 SD smaller than his body mass predicts, so adjusted for body size, his head circumference is roughly -0.27 SD.
Statistically expected IQ
However given the average reader’s cranium is predicted to be +0.44 SD, even after adjusting for body mass, he’s about 0.67 SD smaller headed than the average reader.
And given that head circumference correlates about 0.23 with IQ, I’d expect him to be about 0.23(-0.67 SD)= 0.15 SD less intelligent than the average reader (who is a genius).
In other words, about 2 IQ points below the genius mean of 129, or roughly 127.
Of course, this is a very crude estimate with an enormous margin of error, and as the series continues, we’ll see how close it is.

politicians are like actors in a movie produced by their donors. donors get what they want, while their actors (politicians) sell the electorate a pitch like idpol. thus the semblance of democracy is maintained and autsists and dumb people don’t see that they’re living in an oligarchy. the great awokening is just turning up the volume on idpol to 11. it’s been going on since the “new democrats” (aka “corporate democrats”, “vichy democrats”) took over the dem party.
Bottom line is it’s cheaper to help blacks and immigrants than it is to help the white working class, especially since immigrants are so grateful. And the rich & Purple don’t want to be vilified so they make whites & non-whites vilify each other. Plus, the rich need more non-white immigration to fight whites if they decide to become violent.
MY guy PP worships elites. He truly believes they deserve lives of luxury exploiting the rest of Man because their skulls are bigger.
If you guys really cared about exploitation you’d be arguing that blacks be given reparations for the centuries of slave labour, stolen land & destroyed property.
So let’s not get too sanctimonious.
No shit. That’s how you know these idiots are idiots. They literally can’t understand their hypocrisy.
Elitism is great, seething pleb
what stolen land and destroyed property?

what stolen land and destroyed property?
You’ve never heard of Black Wall Street? In 1921 there was a thriving community of wealthy blacks owning good businesses and nice houses. When some working class whites & their fat wives heard, they went absolutely ballistic and marched into the town lynching entrepreneurs and burning businesses to the ground.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/19/tulsa-1921-massacre-trump-violence-legacy
Such stories are legion. For example, the great theft of one million black owned farms:

“If you guys really cared about exploitation you’d be arguing that blacks be given reparations”
Seeing as how blacks have been getting more from the government than they pay in taxes for decades, they’ve gotten reparations in all but name.
As long as today’s American blacks have it better than today’s African blacks, they’ve come out ahead, regardless of what happened to their ancestors.
If anyone would be better off without the slave trade, it’s today’s whites.
Seeing as how blacks have been getting more from the government than they pay in taxes for decades, they’ve gotten reparations in all but name.
They would argue it’s nowhere near enough to compensate for centuries of picking cotton followed by oppressive laws & being victimized by white mobs.
As long as today’s American blacks have it better than today’s African blacks, they’ve come out ahead, regardless of what happened to their ancestors.
That’s true.
If anyone would be better off without the slave trade, it’s today’s whites.
Really? You don’t think white America benefitted from centuries of free labour?
Except white women are the biggest receivers of government benefits.
Good to see people pushing back against puppy who has drank the woke kool aid.
“They would argue it’s nowhere near enough to compensate for centuries of picking cotton followed by oppressive laws & being victimized by white mobs.”
But the people who suffered from most of that are dead and can’t be compensated. Surely today’s blacks can only be compensated to the degree that they’re worse off than they otherwise would be, which they aren’t on the whole.
And blacks have certainly been busy evening out the score in the victimization department on the streets.
Here’s a compromise for reparations: offer to set up any American slave descendant in Africa with the same housing, wealth, possessions etc that the average African has.
“Really? You don’t think white America benefited from centuries of free labour?”
Rich southern whites were better off for a while, working class whites were worse off for having to compete with free labor. White southerners of today are certainly not better off, think Mississippi. Then think of the benefits of no civil war, politics and activism focused on progress rather than racial issues for 150 years, much lower crime rates etc.
How can someone be this delusional?
But the people who suffered from most of that are dead and can’t be compensated. Surely today’s blacks can only be compensated to the degree that they’re worse off than they otherwise would be, which they aren’t on the whole.
why not compensate them to the degree that they would have been had their ancestors been compensated? After all that’s what their ancestors would have wanted.
And blacks have certainly been busy evening out the score in the victimization department on the streets.
Well that can be considered too.
Here’s a compromise for reparations: offer to set up any American slave descendant in Africa with the same housing, wealth, possessions etc that the average African has.
They’d be fools to give up citizenship in the World’s richest country when their ancestors helped build it. How about every U.S. white simply pay U.S. blacks the difference between their personal wealth & the personal wealth of their equipercentle white wealth counterpart in Europe (who presumably didn’t benefit from black slaves to the same degree).
Rich southern whites were better off for a while, working class whites were worse off for having to compete with free labor.
It still raised the wealth level of whites as a whole, even if it created more inequality between them.
White southerners of today are certainly not better off, think Mississippi. Then think of the benefits of no civil war, politics and activism focused on progress rather than racial issues for 150 years, much lower crime rates etc.
But a lot of those problems were not caused by blacks per se, but by whites refusing to fairly compensate them. Part of the reason poor whites are suffering is because their politics puts racial interests over economic ones.
i think peepee is reading my comments then posting them under one of her personalities.

“Except white women are the biggest receivers of government benefits.”
That doesn’t disprove that blacks have gotten more out than they pay in, Melo, so not sure how you think that’s relevant.
Pumpkin, you’re Canadian if I recall correctly? What do you think about reparations to first nations?
I support some form of reparations for them. Not personal cheques because that could be squandered on alcohol a la Mug of Pee but investments in their community & businesses

Waaaah waaaah waaah
Blacks have had their reparations and then some – whites have provided them a far better life than they could achieve in Africa.
Additionally, we need to offset the worsening of conditions caused by blacks through their inability to pay anywhere near the average level of tax, and their sky-high crime rate – these reparations for whites would somewhat negate those owed to blacks for slavery.
This is all moot anyway because those that were owed reparations are long since dead. The current inequality has nothing to do with the slavery of the past – run a regression and you’ll find that the inequality disappears once you adjust for IQ.
The current inequality has nothing to do with the slavery of the past – run a regression and you’ll find that the inequality disappears once you adjust for IQ.
Income inequality mostly disappears but wealth inequality does not, perhaps because wealth is much more inter-generational.
Also, if part of America’s black-white IQ gap is environmental, correcting for IQ could be an over-correction. Might be better to correct for polygenic cognitive score
Avatars with four blue stars representin’ 🙂
From a purely political perspective reparations could be a good way to red-pill people as blacks will soon end up down on their luck and complaining again, a pity to waste all that money though.
Wasn’t trying to strike a nerve, PP. You’re much more reasonable – and presumably more ethical – than most people. I just don’t get the the pseudo-woke stuff when you unironically refer to certain races as genetically superior and consider working class white people bumpkin trash.
I’ve dealt with people like that all my life – the ones who ‘care about the little man’ but they’re narcissistic, elitist, NIMBY hypocrites (I don’t think you’re at that level). They get off to ‘helping’ oppressed groups at the expense of their ‘lesser’ cousins and jerk each other off at salons about how enlightened and altruistic they are after having given up next to nothing. It’s like the profoundly privileged Beta O’Rourke giving hardly anything to charity and justifying it by saying his way of giving back is ‘sacrificing his time’ being a politician, i.e., trying to acquire clout. Just revolting, exploitative people many liberal elites are, and I hate it when the masses fall for their high-minded facade or, in your case, justify or even celebrate it under phrenology or “but white did bad stuff!”
Why didn’t you publish my comment?
It’s published now. For some reason it got classified as spam. Happens once in a blue moon.
Teffec, for me it comes down to intention. One of the reasons I’m so beloved by people of all races 🙂 is that everyone knows my HBDism comes from a place of innocence & pure love of human evolution.
Unfortunately HBD attracts a lot of people who are not primarily interested in the science, but just use it to push a political agenda.
Pp, science has historically been linked with politics since the days of Aristotle
“why not compensate them to the degree that they would have been had their ancestors been compensated? After all that’s what their ancestors would have wanted.”
Do you mean compensate them to the degree that they would have benefited if their ancestors had been compensated? If I remember the following article right, that degree is probably zero: https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/2021/02/gregory-clark-videos/
“They’d be fools to give up citizenship in the World’s richest country when their ancestors helped build it.”
So “thank god my granddaddy got on that boat” 🙂
“It still raised the wealth level of whites as a whole, even if it created more inequality between them.”
In the short-term perhaps, but the subsequent burden of blacks has surely superseded that benefit.
“But a lot of those problems were not caused by blacks per se, but by whites refusing to fairly compensate them. Part of the reason poor whites are suffering is because their politics puts racial interests over economic ones.”
Racial interests are much more important in the long-term though. Suppose the US had succeeded in creating some egalitarian utopia some generations ago, with little inequality or segregation to keep blacks and whites apart. Race mixing would rapidly decimate the smart fraction, and thereby the whole society. The US would turn into Brazil, and everyone would be worse off.
Where do you draw the line for compensation of stuff your ancestors did by the way? Should poor African descendants of slavers compensate their richer African-American brethren for example? And how can Germany ever repay their debts? What about the descendants of terrible dictators and serial killers etc?
It’s certainly an interesting situation were the descendants of the people who were wronged ended up benefiting from that transgression, while the descendants of the people who did the wronging ended up worse off If one believes in inherited guilt and in karma then justice has already been served in a way.
One could also object to reparations on a purely utilitarian view, in that spending money on poor African-Americans is less likely to improve their lot than poor people of other races.

Pumpkin,
Pretty sure most people don’t really have much to hand over to the next generation, especially when you’re talking about blacks and the whites at a corresponding IQ score. The few $X000 that mum gives to you when she dies at 80 and you’re 50 ain’t gonna do much imo.
For me, the more intuitive explanation one that relates to the scores on the marshmallow test – even keeping IQ constant, blacks are less likely to delay gratification and prefer to focus on the here and now. I recall studies showing that, keeping income constant, blacks spend more on consumer goods. Whites are more likely to set money aside for a rainy day (evolutionarily speaking, for a cold winter) than spend it on stuff they can’t afford.
Empirical study to conduct to test your theory: for whites and blacks born at same levels of wealth and same IQ, which group loses most of that wealth. Most blacks who come into a large sum of money will spend most of it in a short period of time. They’re like Jesse Pinkman in that way, but without what looks like a 25inch cranium.
Who is Wilhelmine Germany? A friend of Oprah’s? PP, give this man a 180 score! haha
Please do Noam Elkies IQ estimate!
He probably meant Wilhelm so 1871-1917 germany
Interesting. I know it is for the purposes of explication of a general approach, but your stepwise regression approach may be introducing too much error. The best approach is to consider is which the best predictor. The ones you have been working through are the distant predictors. Only one is an actual test. Reading your blog. Best James

During my adolescent years my IQ was probably in 125. Now its a cooler 115. This is attributable to a lot of trauma and stress I endured that significantly impacted my life.
Regardless my cognitive skills are still better used than most people with higher IQs and my cognitive decline due to aging will be negligent.
IQ gets more important as you age although early childhood IQ is romanticized in our society however the practicality of it is that IQ really becomes important after the age of 45.
Unless you suffered a blow to the head or a neurological disease like pill’s schizophrenia, it’s very unlikely your IQ dropped. On any particular test? Yes. But on a composite of many different kinds of tests? Hell no.

Some ways to look at this are that IQ in early adult life requires a lot of cooperation with others to get things done. It also involves not having a lot of prestige for it. When you age into midlife your IQ becomes the complete and only reliable part of your life for the most part where you frame things for yourself such as wisdom, knowledge, authority, etc.
Just things that will cement your status and further your legacy.

Correct me if I am wrong pp, but your adjustment process used the US army head circumference didn’t it? Isn’t that just assuming your readers’ HC is same as that of the army? It might be but you’d need to check for that in a new poll.
I assumed the army’s HCs were representative of American young adults (roughly). I then estimated my reader’s HC from the correlation between HC & IQ, since I seem to know the average IQ of my readers.
Average reader is +1.93 SD in IQ and you stated +0.44 SD in HC, so a correlation of ~0.23? Is that a consistent number? To try a verification, you can start a reader poll for head circumference. The result, even if it isn’t on point won’t disprove anything because there might be issues with measuring and all but then again, the same can be said for IQ with different tests giving slightly different results. Will be interesting to compare the two.

Okay, fair enough.
Melo, I was unaware that analogies had to be exactly the same to have any validity, that somewhat limits their usefulness. My apologies.
One would naively think that refugees that escaped their homelands with nothing after suffering through brutal terror would tend to be less successful than say American whites who’ve lived in peace and prosperity for generations, or even American blacks who’ve had to suffer through separate fountains and horrors of that kind, but apparently not.
That’s not what analogies are.
Blacks, Jews, and the Vietnamese all had completely different sociopolitical things happening to them which lead to vastly different outcomes.
African-Americans became differentiated from Africans by the slave trade. African-Americans are better off than Africans today. Therefore the slave trade benefited the African-Americans of today. You can’t argue with that.
The question is not whether they benefitted, the question is whether their inheritance was robbed from them.
How is someone this historically illiterate?
Do you know why Africans today are so bad off?
The answer is white people.
Even if Africans were badly off because of white people, the slave trade was still a positive for African-Americans as they are better off than Africans because of it.
And considering Europe had trains before most of Africa had the wheel, I doubt that first proposition very much.
“The question is not whether they benefitted, the question is whether their inheritance was robbed from them.”
Their African inheritance? If their inheritance was replaced by a better inheritance, why do they deserve reparations?
There is no point in arguing with someone this deluded.

Demanding sources for common sense statements is just a petty way to annoy people you disagree with.
Any person with an iq above room temperature knows blacks have benefited from white supremacy, yes they were slaves, but they were slaves in Africa too, in America they had food, a home, medicine etc
I’ve long argued that blacks should pay reparations to whites for having tolerated their behavior for too long and they should pay their own one way ticket back to Africa. Then, african goverments should pay 90% of their gdp to whites for the benefits, technology, literature they got while living in white America

“racist trash”. When you use the term “racist” as a pejorative it makes you seem stupid, not the thrash.
“And if you done even the slightest amount of research you’d know that lower income people pay more in taxes than do higher incomes.”
In percentages, not in absolute amounts. Which means there’s a net transfer to blacks from whites.
Just like there’s a net transfer to poor whites from rich blacks.
And again there are more whites benefitting from welfare programs than blacks
Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if it’s only percentages. You pay taxes based on what you make. Poor people shouldn’t have to put in absolutely more. They already pay their fair share and then some.
“Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if it’s only percentages. ”
It does if we’re talking about who is getting net transfers and who is paying for them.
“Just like there’s a net transfer to poor whites from rich blacks.”
Sure, but the end result is a net transfer to blacks from whites, which is what we’re talking about.

23andme DNA test says I am 10% Subsaharan African, 80% white. Since it comes from my father’s side most likely my father is 20% black and my grandfather is 40% black.
I scored in the 99 percentile of the Stroop test. The test is correlated with the anterior cingulate cortex. It is connected by the corpus callosum. It is made to do tasks between the two hemispheres and is 10% thicker in women.
Women are more internally oriented than men who are externally oriented.
It is very subtle but paying attention is different from doing actions. especially paying attention internally.
for me, it is the simplicity that feels so soothing. I don’t have to try and it switches automatically.
paying attention just feels simple.
IQ is about cooperation between brain structures. paying attention increases the efficiency of the structure you have.
“In other words, about 2 IQ points below the genius mean of 129, or roughly 127.”
PP, you should do an IQ profile on your readers based on comments.
for example, you say genius mean is 129. what differentiates genius norms of 145 from 129?
is a genius 129 or 145?
and in the IQ profile, it could show social IQ and creativity.
what is the average reader commenting based on IQ
There is a natural point where the complexity of things must shut down one’s intellect.
Can this be seen in the comments as a form of factorization to different subject areas?
24 inch head circumference, neither brachy- or doliocephalic. Thoughts?
Poor Melo. Sometimes melo’s head hurts from reading comments that insult black people, even though he is half asian half white. This is how we know melo grew up in da ghetto.
Nigga, your head hurts when you see interracial sex. You’ve said as much.
And yes, I’m ghetto. Everyone knows this. And I’m still smarter than all the white people here.
Melo is what is known in the conservative community as a ‘cuck’. He enjoys seeing black men fondle his mother/sister.
Lmao that’s not what a cuck is you retard.
Y’all can’t even make coherent insults
Sad.
melo needs to be deported. no white woman has ever had sex with a filipino. that’s ridiculous and gross.
If It wasn’t against the rules I’d post videos of white bitches stuffing my fat cock in their mouth.
White women prefer brown cock.
They just won’t ever admit it you.
Aren’t Filipinos meant to have small you know whats? Is that whats bothering you?
I’m black from the waste down.
No Philo. I don’t have dick insecurities, only white peoples online that bitch about minorities have that.
No offense but Asian is synonymous with eunuch.
Even this no-neck having mofo is a sex God in Asia.
No offense, but you can’t be under 30 if you still think the “Asian nerd” stereotype still exists.
White men are incapable of giving women orgasms.
It’s not stereotyping that prevents Asian guys from being considered sexy lol. It’s more the complete lack of sexual dimorphism.
I have noticed an uptick in Asians apeing black culture though, as if their squeaky cringeworthy rapping doesn’t just exacerbate their smoll d*ck energy.
Actually it’s height. Women prefer Asians when they’re tall. Like me.
Actually most Asian rappers have incredibly deep voices.
In fact there isn’t much evidence to suggest that Asians have higher pitched voices anyway. All the Asian men in my family have deep voices.
But white people sound like ducks
this is a real argument against diversity. two groups are eternally frustrated. chinamen and negresses.
women want inches…in height…and in the wallet…in the penis dept lagom ar bast for 99% of women. for one thing there really is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
some desi men do fine though. even though they couldn’t put a pound of muscle on even if they juiced.
fran drescher had a desi husband. and gwen stefani had an unrequited love for her desi drummer.
my comments show up here but not in the queu. why?
the horrible truth about penis size is…there also really is such a thing as too small.
so this is a cross small penis men must bear…they marry chinawomen.
but the good news is…supposedly…the penis size distribution is NOT what you see in porn…and exhibits YUGE kurtosis…
in other words…noticeably large and small penises are rare.
Melo when you pretend to be black its like pretending to have down syndrome or something. Especially in countries that don’t worship blacks like american media.
Philo. You lost the culture war. Get over it already
^this comment is allowed but not mine? Pp make your mind up
Pumpkin, how the fuck do you ban Afro for “racism” but not these cucks?
I do have to apologize though, you are racist but at least you aren’t a retarded racist.
Texas is a shithole.
maybe austin will become the next sf. all the cool people are moving there.
like pakistan.
Pakistan is not nearly the shithole Texas is. India possibly. Bangladesh most definitely.
Are you muslim or hindi?
What’s funny is that a lot of libs often talk shit about the southern states, and forget that Texas is heavily hispanic, and that a lot of the Southern states have more blacks than the other states. These states are also often considered very racist despite that fact as well, while white liberals who only have other whites and asians for neighbors are considered less racist.
