I recently got an email from a college age man who was concerned that his VERBAL KNOWLEDGE INDEX (as I call it) was in the genius range (on both the children and adult version of the Wechsler) despite the rest of his cognitive profile being mediocre or low. When he asked his psychiatrist to interpret the results there was no helpful reply, so a friend of his suggested he contact me.
I’m not a psychiatrist so my opinions are for entertainment purposes only.
The first thing I did was correct all his subtest scores for norm inflation because the WISC-IV norms were 11 years old when he was tested and the WAIS-IV norms were a decade old. The sources I used were pg 240 of James Flynn’s Are We Getting SMARTER? and this table found here:
Such corrections are approximate because one can’t always assume that the rate of norm inflation can be extrapolated beyond the dates from which we have data and some subtests are so new, their rate of inflation had to be estimated using similar tests. In some cases there was norm deflation (see Coding in the table above, aka Digit Symbol).
The next thing I did was substitute the four index scores used on the WISC-IV and WAIS-IV with the five index scores used on the WISC-V. Again this gives only approximate results because the WISC-V index scores were built exclusively on WISC-V data and you’re not allowed to just substitute different versions, and in some cases I had to substitute subtests or adjust for not having the right number of subtests.
Nonetheless, the five factor model is so superior to the four-factor model, that for entertainment purposes only, I did it anyway.
The other liberty I took was calculating his overall IQ, by weighting all five indexes equally (the WISC-V gives equal weight to all core subtests, but more core subtests fall under some indexes than others).
WISC-IV (2013) | WAIS-IV (2016) | |
---|---|---|
VERBAL KNOWLEDGE INDEX | 135 | 142 |
Similarities | 17.23 | 18.4 |
Vocabulary | 15.67 | 17.1 |
(Information) | 12.55 | |
(Comprehension) | 11 | |
SPATIAL INDEX | 78 | 85 |
Block Design | 5.56 | 6.73 |
Visual Puzzles | ||
ABSTRACT INDEX | 102 | 117 |
Matrix Reasoning | 8.4 | 13.45 |
( Picture Concepts) | 12.4 | |
WORKING MEMORY INDEX | 90 | 84 |
Digit Span | 7.89 | 7.73 |
(Arithmetic) | 7 | |

PROCESSING INDEX | 87 | 96 |
Digit Symbol | 8.66 | 7.81 |
Symbol Search | 6.66 | 10.81 |
OVERALL IQ | 98 | 106 |
The first thing we notice is remarkable stability as we move from the children’s scale (2013) to the adult scale (2016). In 2013 his overall IQ was slightly below the U.S. mean of 100; in 2016 he scored slightly above, and even this modest increase might be partly explained by practice effect.
In 2013 his profile was verbal > abstract > working memory > processing > spatial. In 2016, verbal > abstract > processing > spatial > working memory. In other words there is a near perfect 0.95 correlation between his cognitive profile in 2013 and 2016, despite the fact that different versions of the Wechsler (with different questions) were used on each date.
Vertical reliability vs horizontal reliability
Reliability (not to be confused with stability) is typically measured by dividing all the items on a test in half in some random way (e.g. odd vs even numbered items). If the total score on all the odd number items correlates well with one’s score on all the even numbered items, this suggests your score was reliable, because it internally self-replicates. The reliability of the Wechsler scales are so high at the full-scale level that they are said to have a standard error of only 2 points, meaning in 2/3rd of all cases, one’s score is within 2 points of one’s “true” score and in 95% of cases, one’s score is within 4 points of one’s true score.
But what is true score? True overall score is the overall score one would get on the Wechsler if we could make every subtest infinitely long, yet factor out fatigue, practice effects, and ageing.
However I propose an alterative definition of true overall score: the overall score one would get on the Wechsler if we could increase the number of subtests to infinity, yet factor out fatigue, practice effects, and ageing. But since many subtests redundantly measure the same functions, what we really want to do is increase the number of index scores to if not infinity, then the maximum number that exist within the human mind. Let’s call this horizontal true score, to distinguish it from the typical definition of true score, which we can call vertical true score.
To measure horizontal true score, imagine we were doing a poll of the average IQ in a given school. If we tested five students, and they had an average IQ of 80 with an SD of 10, then the standard error of our poll would be 10 divided by the square root of our sample size.
Now instead of trying to find the average IQ of different people in a school, we’re instead trying to find the average index score of different talents within the same mind. Once we find the standard error of the average index score, we could convert it to standard error of overall IQ (because index scores are imperfectly correlated, one’s composite score on multiples indexes tends to be more extreme than one’s average index score). Multiplying the standard error by 1.96 and then adding and subtracting it from the overall IQ gives the 95% confidence band.
Based on the amount of scatter, I calculate that all we can say with 95% certainty is that the subject’s true horizontal overall score is anywhere from IQ 73 to IQ 122 (in 2013) and anywhere from IQ 78 to IQ 133 (in 2016).
So the subject is either very smart, or very not-smart but we can’t be more precise than that without running several more tests.
Career advise
Subject will be disapointed that I didn’t devote more content to this section, but there’s only so much career advise to be gained from Wechsler test results. He is a genius at overall verbal knowledge, but only slightly above average at social knowledge (comprehension), slight below average at processing and poor at working memory and arithmetic. His social knowledge is not poor (and given the low reliability of a single subtest, should not be over-interpreted), and when combined with his genius overall verbal knowledge, he would probably have a competitive edge. I suggest he pursue whatever he field he is passionate about, as long as it’s not closely related to law, STEM, clerical or visual technical skills because these require working memory, arithmetic, processing speed and spatial ability respectively.

Was reading in the Economist how the Iranians think a deal with the US on their nuclear programme is a waste of time if the deal falls apart whenever a republican gets elected again.
Personally if I was Iran I would do the deal with Biden because the American army will invade if they get too close to a nuke. I’m pretty certain of that. So they might as well get sanctions relief and also save money on building a nuclear programme. Iran is a really poor country and most of its scientists have less status there than mullahs, what little scientific spending Iran has shoudln’t be spent on a nuke.
Also I should stop speaking like a 12 year old about a country ‘saving money’ on something. Iran can print as much money as it wants, what actually determines whether its feasible to have a nuke is what else its scientists and government could spend time doing.

East asians work longer, have no welfare state and have higher IQs and yet they are uniformly poorer. South Korea and Taiwan are about as rich per person as Portugal and the portuguese have a much better welfare state and work life balance.
Theres a theory in Marxist economics which basically asserts that the West has much better terms of trade vis a vis the developing world than when trading amongst each other. Basically they say the reason is path dependency from the bad old days of colonialism. It may well be true but I’ve not seen studies on it. Are east asians just really bad negotiators? Why are the selling to the west at such bad prices?
The Philosopher said:
Another explanation is perhaps that East Asian countries don’t share the wealth widely enough. That their elites take too much of the pie and the workers get nothing. There is a lot of HBD evidence to show that east asians bow down to their masters.

All East Asians were late to the game (of industrial revolution). Japan was least late, and it compares favorably to the Western economies, with some allowances for how intensely overcrowded their country is. S. Korea and Taiwan were very late adopters, but have come on strong all things considered. Wealth in the East Asian “tigers” tends to be broadly distributed. Other than being late to the game, their biggest weakness is probably that they are poor innovators, perhaps due to the intensely conformist nature of their societies. Evidence that conformity (deriving from a combination of higher “big 5” Agreeableness and Neuroticism) are holding back innovation among them comes by way of comparison with men and women. Women are more Agreeable and Neurotic (and therefore conformist) than men, and they hardly innovate at all.

Mugabe said Greece is a good example of anti-HBD. Is it? Sometimes empires rise and fall and it has nothing to do with genetics. Same goes for Egypt.

They are more a necessitating factor than something that causes wild divergence. China should have been and continued to be number 1 in the world otherwise.

I’m guessing that the IQ distribution in Victorian Britain was wider than ours because of widespread malnutrition among the lower classes. Did Galton recruit his reaction time sample mainly from the middle and upper classes?

other excuses for china people are:
1. they haven’t been rich countries as long as europe on a relative basis. western europe and its diaspora has been the richest place since columbus and in part because of columbus. so i’ve read that japan’s distribution sector is actually very inefficient compared to the american. or it was. and thus imports would be limited by the much larger mark up. this was when americans were bitching about how japan wouldn’t buy things from them.
2. population density. japan is the least densely populated of japan, s korea, taiwan but the only euro countries more densely populated than japan are the netherlands and belgium. monaco, et al don’t count. they’re silly countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population_density
Nehemiah said:
This may underestimate Japan’s actual population density. Most of the country is mountainous, so the population is huddled in a few low lying areas. I think South Korea is very mountainous too. I think Taiwan’s mountains are smaller, but the terrain is still pretty rugged. In terms of geography, none of these three countries have hit the jack pot. Now America, except for our weather — tornado capital of the world, hurricanes, a proneness to megadroughts, massive fault zones, and three active supervolcanos out west — but aside from those issues, America is the geographic promised land. We don’t appreciate how lucky we are in that regard.

so the swank personality claimed thelonious monk was the ultimate emperor’s new clothes and mugabe disagreed and always will. monk is an authentic genius.
but mugabe came across what is to his mind a genuine example of the emperor’s new clothes in the world of film criticism.
Over time the film has been re-evaluated by film critics and has moved higher in esteem in most critics’ opinions. Every ten years since 1952, the British Film Institute’s film magazine, Sight & Sound, has asked the world’s leading film critics to compile a list of the 10 greatest films of all time. In the 2002 Sight & Sound poll of international critics Vertigo was ranked second just behind Citizen Kane (1941) as the best film ever made.[80] Ten years later, the 2012 edition of the same poll resulted in Vertigo being voted into first place by critics as the best film ever made, displacing Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane from the position it had occupied since 1962.[4][81][82][83] In the 1962 and 1972 polls, Vertigo was not among the top 10 films in voting. Only in 1982 did Vertigo enter the list…

right. and that’s what critics said when it came out in 1958. but then it was “re-evaluated” and to such an extent that it is now the best movie ever made in the Sight&Sound poll. the same thing happened to monk except monk was always popular with some. i think the merits of Vertigo are entirely in the story/plot not in the film making per se. it could be remade much better. it has many very heavy themes in it. at first i thought it was boring, then i thought it was stupid, but this is what everyone thought when it came out. and i can’t stand the stupid mood music.

also no one ever considers that a work of art may actually become better or worse really, and not just in the eyes of critics. “but the work doesn’t change”, peepee says. “only the perception of it changes.” yes but…
a work of art is great to the extent that it is timeless. this means in the context of the time it was made it may’ve been stupid, but then as times change it is seen that it was beyond its own time. and the reverse is true too. what was most esteemed may become stupid…really!…because the stupidity of the time and place it was made can be seen from outside when it could not be seen from inside.
as i say Vertigo has some extremely heavy themes which are rarely if ever seriously explored in the rest of cinema.

Elites use all demographics, not blacks only, but blacks benefit more under this elite then they did under past ones. Not sure the relevance of West; a pro-Palestinian white professor would have likely got the same treatment.

pumpkin may i be unbanned now.
look at this cool genomic thing that says i have a low disposition to losing my virginity later in life as opposed to earlier.
still a twenty five year old virgin tbh.

I’ll unban you but don’t expect the majority of your comments to appear. I have to maintain standards.

Seriously you gotta keep loaded banned.

Remember the deep state didn’t oppose Russia until Russia intervened in Syria. That tells you all you need to know about the ethnic minority status of the deep state in America.

the work of fine art, and everything useless, is an example of high agency.
greek statuary was infinitely better than any chinese statuary.
european painting was infinitely better than anything in china.
european philosophy and literature is so superior it’s a joke.

Yes, whites and blacks are brilliant at solving problems no one knew was a problem & therefore no one else was trying to solve & then brag about solving them first.
Black: It’s a problem that there’s not enough sex in dancing. Let’s invent twerking.
White: It’s a problem that there are no movies where women are stabbed to death in the shower. Let’s make slasher films.
East Asian: It’s a problem we can’t kill enemies without getting so close we risk our own lives. While they waste time on twerking & slasher film, we invent incipient firearms.
Teffec P. said:
East Asian: “It’s a problem there isn’t enough bestiality in cartoons.”
Problem: must destroy enemy
East Asian ingenuity: fly into ships
European ingenuity: develop atomic bomb
Let it go, PP! The only advantage Asians have is that they don’t have to babysit third-world populations.
The Philosopher said:
Was reading an article in the Economist on how China treats LGBT people an it quoted a chinese person saying gay rights was all about jewish and white elites pushing it. hahaha
Billy said:
But only one aspect of this commentary is true. European ingenuity – yes! East Asian ingenuity, however, no – Japanese, in fact. This reveals the reality of the ingenious: a conglomerate of diverse minds, or at the very least, ala Dutton, the amassing of resources from foreign domains. The only ingenious aspect here, is how the East Asian forced ignorance of being East Asian until the Japanese decided to take a crack at it, hence why whites are now babysitting the third world.
Teffec P. said:
The Japanese are notoriously insular people. Muh melting pot has its pros like you mentioned, but some unsavory third-world ingredients largely are diluting what made the First World great! In several generations, heterogeneity will become knockoff homogeneity. That, by design, is the upshot of globalism: nondescript, tractable mongrels devoid of identity. I say this not out of hatred nor fear. It’s just the fact of the matter. That’s what this epoch of Man is about – agitate and adulterate.
orson welles was right. said:
the small advantage some china people countries have in the PISA is easily explained by…
1. obedience/docility
2. much more demanding schooling…so demanding most american parents would object, “this is wrong! let them be kids for God’s sake.”

whereas south asians are okay at it.

cho is NOT funny.
pumpkinperson said:
She’s funnier than Norm Macdonald. At least Cho doesn’t laugh at her own jokes.
Teffec P. said:
Female comedy. Even Marge resorted to it (although she did better than I expected). Best comedienne is GREEK, but even Tina Fey isn’t among the top 1,000 funny people on Earth since humor is super sexually dimorphic because women don’t need to be funny to get laid.
The funniest black guy, Dave Chappelle, laughs at his own material all the time. Norm is the second funniest Gentile of all time after Jim Jefferies (Louis C. K. is partially Jewish, and Larry David of course is impossibly Jewish). Claiming a Korean woman is funnier than him is laughable, PP!
pumpkinperson said:
sigh
Teffec P. said:
Half of the routine was talking about her bush and her deformed ass, PP! I’d argue all 100 of the 100 funniest people ever are male, and I doubt one is Asian. Honorable mentions: Lisa Lampanelli, Rosanne Barr, Joan Rivers, Rosie O’Donnell, Melissa McCarthy, Ken Jeong. Whitney Cummings isn’t super funny, but she’s one of the more rational female celebs in that she’s class-conscious and receptive to the explanatory power of innate intersex difference.
pumpkinperson said:
The funniest black comics are Dieudonné M’bala M’bala and Oprah:
Teffec P. said:
OK English-speaking comedians. Oprah has a good sense of humor, but I could name dozens of black people who aren’t even comedians who are funnier than her. You’re trolling.
pumpkinperson said:
Funnier to you. The only English speaking blacks I find funny are Oprah, Chris Rock & Bill Cosby but then I watch very little black entertainment.
The best comics are talk show hosts because they have to improvise their humour hundreds of days a year, year after year, while stand-ups write their jokes ahead of time and repeat them over & over.
Teffec P. said:
I never found Billy Cosby funny. Neither did Bill Maher. I think it’d be much easier to be witty on the fly than to write jokes, but that’s just me. Trevor Noah is bad at both.
pumpkinperson said:
The people who say Cosby wasn’t funny are probably referring to his standup which I agree was not funny. But as a comic actor performing material written by others I found his character funny, mostly because of his facial reaction to his kids’ low IQ friends:

I hate watching comedians. I find 95% of them not funny.
Ganzir said:
George Carlin is the only stand-up comedian I find even remotely funny.
jewish humor is try hard. maher calling someone else not funny is funny. said:
the best comedians are goys. steve martin is the greatest.
the greek zach galfianakis is great.
Teffec P. said:
George Carlin is a douchebag. Comedy doesn’t age very well, but he comes off as an angsty 13-year-old who just read a Vox article: “America is a shopping mall, and parents have to EARN their kids’ respect!” Keen insight and rad ponytail, old-timer.
Some Guy said:
East Asians probably too introverted to overperform in comedy, plus average verbal ability.
does peepee wish she were a skraeling? said:
the history of greenland and ZA may be parallel.
when the norse settled in greenland 1,000 years ago, the “natives” hadn’t been there very long…or hadn’t been there at all. 500 years later it was too cold for the normen…or that’s the theory…the theory that they were driven out by the inuit i haven’t heard.

Yup, Jared Diamond cites this as proof that Europeans are not genetically superior.

well one thing all retarded people like flushton is…
it doesn’t take that many generations to lower the IQ by 6 points…
flushton explained the china people 6 points by ice age climate (which was FALSE)…but did he explain the ashkenazi 15 points by a similarly ancient mechanism?
no.
because flushton had a low IQ.
sad.
pumpkinperson said:
but did he explain the ashkenazi 15 points by a similarly ancient mechanism?
His theory focused on the 3 MAIN races, so he rightly ignored Jews.

one wonders if the german gentile engels was svengali to marx. said:
yeah.
half of marxism is bullshit.
the other half is something every intelligent person agrees with.
namely, the theory of surplus value is basically gay…today…in marx’s time it wasn’t or mayn’t’ve been.
but marx’s metaphysics and his theory of history and politics is…
something every smart person must (mostly) agree with.
this part of marx was most succinctly expressed in:

jesus and hitler have more in common than they have with anyone else. sad. said:
as jesus said:
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! 23
and as hitler said…
by “brother” i mean your literal brother or member of your extended family, because group selection and nietzsche.
Ganzir said:
You said invaded, right? Might be one of the last times that happens.
Right.
Don’t say that. It must be worse for you. That’s what everyone says after they find out something they don’t like.
Jesus Christ.
It’s not something that can be hashed out in a few hours, man. Can you be quiet for a minute? Of course I can’t. No, not yet. The feeling of being invaded.
Why not?
Don’t say that! Don’t even talk about it.
We should have left well enough alone.
I keep thinking, like, it would be better to end it all. Not with what we found. How long are they going to take? But it’s not like that. Everything I am. You know what they’ll say.
It is me. It’s over. It’ll take time.
You’re germophobic, right?
Did you get a reply? We shouldn’t have looked. You too. I doubt anyone’s going to be talking about anything else anymore.
I feel sick.

peepee’s class vs non-class SES is a reality.
that is, being poor does not necessarily make one lower class…
and in fact this phenomenon is how bill maher would defend his ridicule of PWTs.
BUT no money, straitened circumstances, makes every one more TRASHY.
so many of the attributes/characteristics of class are just luxury.
BUT not all.
peepee is right about that.
the innately upper class who can’t occupy an upper class position…
they drop out.
this is what fussel called “class X” in his…
so when peepee says, “class is what you are” she’s right.
