[update 2022-04-15: an earlier version of this article reported the number of people who had passed each item on the TAVIS. This data was based on the response summary. However thanks to an anomaly spotted by commenter kiwianon, I did more research and it now appears that summary reported everyone who answered the question, and not just those who did so correctly]
As of today, there have been 746 responses to the TAVIS. Of these, 625 answered at least one item. This is not to imply that even the easiest item was too tough for 121 people, since many respondents did not properly start the test or did not bother taking it, and of those who took it, some likely took it multiple times strategically answering only one question as part of an attempt to infer answers.
A score of only 14 out of 24 puts you around the one in 4,000 level or even one in 42,000 level, depending on which (if any) of my three normings you believe. Not a single person (out of 625) has scored above 19.
When a test’s ceiling is so much higher than it’s hardest item (which hopefully wont be the case here), it’s sometimes a sign of low reliability. On a perfectly reliable test, the percent of people answering the hardest item perfectly matches the percent of people with a perfect score .

I spent 10 days in the mental hospital.
They gave me a ton of pills for schizophrenia.
I have trama that is not the same as schizo.
schizoid maybe. I bottle up my emotions causing damage.
I’ve been listening to my mix playlist on youtube for the pain.
People had to be googling answers, then, and I didn’t. There’s no way that nearly three-quarters of test takers knew the answer to “Hermes”.
That one didn’t seem that out there for educated people. The birds bees one on the other hand seemed extremely esoteric on the other hand. I would like to review the questions and answers though.
The birds bees one, if I’m correct, involved a [redacted by pp, 2022-04-15]
It involved a [redacted by pp, 2022-04-16] you say? I love being able to see past PP’s redactions, but he will have to pay me $50 to learn how I do it
i have been characterized as an outlier (good-looking) gracile Indid. i apparently look very gracile indid but unlike most subcontinentals i have very low Veddid phenotype!
I’m not sure I understand your criterion of reliability. Let’s suppose there was a test of “long-legged tallness” composed of two items: one that you pass if you are at least 2sd above the mean in leg length, and another that you pass if you are at least 1.9sd above the mean in overall height. Now, I don’t know what the correlation between leg length and overall height is, but it is presumably imperfect – not all people who are at least 2sd above the mean in leg length are also at least 1.9sd above the mean in overall height. So, this is a test in which not all people who pass the hardest item (leg length) get a perfect score, but clearly the reliability of the test has nothing to do with this fact: the reliability depends on how accurately and consistently you can measure height and leg length. We can imagine arbitrarily increasing the reliability by using more accurate measuring tools and more consistent measurement standards, but this would not have much of an effect on the percent of people who pass the hardest item but who do not get a perfect score.
It seems like your criterion has more to do with how much different items load on the same factor?
Because each of your items measures a different variable (height vs leg length) removing one of your two items could reverse the rank order between two people. If they both measured the same variable, the rank order would never be reversed by removing one item. Thus tests that load on multiple factors are more sensitive to chance fluctuation and thus less reliable. You literally can’t rely on them because they’re dependent on the arbitrary selection of items. Another term for reliable is internally consistent.
In virtue of what is this test valid? Furthermore, not being exposed to the relationships in the items is actually a big deal and due to that, how is the test valid?
Well because the test is culturally loaded, it probably lacks face validity, but it may have construct and predictive validity.
i have a gracile indid phenotype according to people but I am one of the best-looking people with that phenotype in the world!
Also the data here makes no sense. The sum of the correct responses is 13077, then dividing this by 746 we get 17.5, so if that were accurate data, then the mean score would be 17.5, and even higher for people who “made a serious attempt”. I don’t buy it.
Good point. I had assumed the response summary listed the number of people who had passed each item but I now suspect it lists how many people attempted each one.
vox day has autism. he’s against freedom of speech. why? because he wants to be the censor. he wants blasphemy laws again.
mugabe: why don’t you move to iran vox? they have blasphemy laws.
vox: islam is a false religion.
mugabe: so as long as the right people are the censors then it’s cool?
vox: right. there’s still censorship de facto. it’s just that today it’s SJWs and woke capital doing it.
mugabe: why don’t we just add viewpoint discrimination to civil rights laws and radicalize the first amendment?
vox: hmmmm. i never though of that.
SCOTUS is the guardian council (Shūrā-ye Negahbān) of the US.
I support a free press too as long as it doesnt come under control by certain ethnic minorities.
Why do you support one?
Why wouldnt i?
Why would you?
Pill doesnt understand anything he writes he reads a lot on the internet and memorizes lines he thinks sound good.
Sad part is he chooses the stupidest lines to insert into his comments because he simply doesnt understand them.
Anime Pill is an example of shitty AI if you want to make a strong AI learn from his mistakes!
yes. even so-called “right libertarians” are in favor of anti-trust laws iirc. if an industry is controlled by a small ethnic minority, isn’t this the same threat to liberty and democracy?
as mugabe has said before: whoever believes in jeffersonian democracy must object to dominant small minorities however honestly they may have come by that dominance and however much the members of such minorities may disagree with one another.
So you support affirmative action for non-members of the dominant minority?
that would be reverse affirmative action peepee.
1. whoever would support affirmative action must necessarily support the reverse for over-represented minorities or they are just an anti-white racist.
2. the extreme over-representation of one minority in particular is not the result of merit alone. this minority should not be limited to its 2%. no. but it should be limited at 12%.
3. objective standards in white majority countries would reduce over-representation sufficiently that no steps limiting the rights of a minority would be necessary.
4. i support a society where arguments over affirmative action are moot because there is no diversity.
No you support a society where’s there no RACIAL diversity.
“No you support a society where’s there no RACIAL diversity.”

ted k’s The System’s Neatest Trick might explain europe’s thought crime laws. that is, my guess is these didn’t exists before massive immigration and islamic terrorism.
but it doesn’t explain woke capital entirely.
ted k would say capital only pretends to be woke because it depends on a diverse workforce and it has to keep its non-wypipo happy by blaming wypipo and especially white males for everything.
but this doesn’t explain things like this: https://rollcall.com/2021/09/09/sec-backed-nasdaq-rule-on-diversity-faces-court-challenge/…which is all the more bizarre because it’s obviously illegal.
economic expediency also doesn’t explain the resulting absence of diversity in viewpoint. that is, woke cos are uncomfortable places to work for people who aren’t work and thus the majority of the talent pool can’t be exploited, the opposite of economic expediency.
so the explanation is what mugabe says:
1. distraction and diversion from economic issues and the failures of the current economic system.
2. certain ethnic interests.
3. selection for obedience, ideological conformity via elite education.
virtue signalling/cheap grace is a much less important factor.
in general government should only intervene to increase freedom and liberty. that something is wrong does not mean it should be illegal.
Ted K’s “the system’s neatest trick” was a pretty mediocre analysis for someone who’s supposed to be so smart. I wonder if autism/schiz impaired his understanding. Or maybe the WAIS-R was right and he’s only mildly genius.
my nose is triangular and my bones are good! i have a very top-tier nose according to people making me very good-looking for my phenotype!
There are 2 major lenses to view all social phenomena. The first is the marxist lens which explains 50% of everything. The second is the Rushton/McDonald lens which explains the rest.
flushton and kmac are morons.
the fake libertarians, right libertarians, are correct that taxation is theft, but thou shalt not kill is also a commandment and private charity is very inefficient. see The Bicycle Theif.
and of course the marxists are also right that profit (= the wages of capital) can sometimes be theft.
btw, teddy roosevelt really was a nietschean superman. so was jefferson. the US would have such presidents today if it weren’t for corruption.
Trump is a superman in a certain way. Top 1% of social intelligence and charisma.
1% isnt even that rare though.
and of course that part of taxes that go to charity is a very small part of the total in the US at least.
social security and medicare are not charity as everyone who gets them pays into them.
it’s funny how people whose views on matters economic i have agreed with i now know are bad people. two of these are robert reich and Anand Giridharadas.
another thing vox day didn’t think of is that calling someone a “racist”, “homophobe”, etc. in a way that harms their reputation might be subject to defamation claims.
this would need a precedent and a supreme court case as those defamers could always claim this was only their opinion.
It’s almost impossible to win a defamation case if you’re a public figure Mug of Tard. I know your country’s laws better than you do. You have a super low IQ which is why you refuse to take the TAVIS:
https://www.flexiquiz.com/SC/N/tavis
and as i’ve said before there should be bias in favor of those with the deepest roots in the country and against recent arrivals.
in the US this would favor, native americans, the descendants of slaves, and WASPs.
anyone whose ancestors fought in the civil war or revolutionary war should have advantages over those who just arrived.
How about a bias in favour of those who came lawfully vs those who invaded?
yes obviously. as you say any country would be stupid not to admit super high IQ immigrants irrespective of their nationality. but there’d never be enough of them to effectively disenfranchise the indigenes.
and btw, i am against a large minority like black americans having little or no representation. if i were black i would resent it. but i don’t know how to remedy it. a grossly under-represented small minority is less undemocratic than a grossly over-represented small minority. obviously.
and i am not against obscenity laws. the important thing is that the obscene speech is content free. for example pornography has no message or meaning, but a pornographic work of art may.
I would bar super high IQ immigrants on the grounds they might overpower the system and establish a minority elite that controls everything. Hmmm I wonder when thats ever happened. Heh Heh.
idiot.
no ethnic group has a super high IQ.
and i didn’t mean super high IQ literally.
i meant things like operation paper clip are a good idea.
the US wouldn’t have nukes or gone to the moon without foreign scientists.
or so is claimed.
if streetshitters like parag agrawall were consistent they’d know that calling someone a racist is equivalent to calling them a chimo. the latter is totally actionable even for public figures peepee. the former is not. the law needs to be updated.
if a CNN guest said elon musk was a chimo, musk would win the lawsuit.
I’m not so sure about that. Musk would have to prove that they were KNOWINGLY untruthful or had a reckless disregard for the truth. Musk would also have to prove he suffered damages (e.g. Tesla stocks declined, emotional trauma proven by psychiatric records).
Incidentally Musk falsely accused someone of being a pedo for trying to rescue some boys trapped in a cave and could not be successfully sued.

no test is culture fair even backwards digit span requires a familiarity with numbers! the more you internalize a concept or piece of information the more youre likely to do better on an IQ test!
Oops can you delete my previous comment, I got the name wrong with sensitive info.
working memory is a lot more important for academic success than IQ is! life success is built on academic success and academic success is strongly more related to academics than IQ!
working memory should be the focus of development for anyone trying to become successful not intelligence quotient!
oops meant to say working memory is strongly related to academics!
I was up for nearly a day when I asked the question and fucked up my name at the last instant.
i didnt ask.
Gonna get it nontheless.
nope.
life is most like a video game than any other form of medium. this is because its a winner-take-all type of world.
everyone thinks theyve found something profound to talk about until i enter the room. anyways the 10000+ hours of practice i put into life makes me the greatest!
i am great and anyone who disagrees is a blithering idiot!
Cary Grant vs. Chevy Chase
The year: 1980
The charge: During an appearance on Tom Snyder’s Tomorrow, Snyder told the former Saturday Night Live star — then trying to make a name as a romantic comedy leading man — that many people had compared him favorably to Cary Grant. Chase responded, apparently humorously, “I understand he was a homo. He was brilliant. What a gal!” Grant didn’t care for the joke, and the next day, he filed a $10 million lawsuit against Chase for slander.
The verdict: They eventually settled out of court, with Grant reportedly pocketing $1 million in the deal.
Not saying it’s impossible but it’s very hard because the U.S. has such strong free speech laws. You had to go back 42 years to find a successful case and even that was settled out of court for 1/10th what the person was suing for (in other words just the legal fees).
Carol Burnett suing the Enquirer for saying she was drunk at a restaurant is a rare example of a public figure winning a defamation suit and she only got 200k out of court after suing for $10 million.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnett_v._National_Enquirer,_Inc.
The US doesnt have strong free speech laws. It has strong free speech laws for those that can afford it.
cur deus homo?
one reason that i haven’t heard is that he was the answer to the question asked by those who make the category mistake like all atheists “does God exist?”
well yes. He walked the earth.
another example of vox day’s autism.
jesus himself was executed for what?
violating blasphemy laws.
wait this Mug fella is allowed to mock the Koran but I cant mock the Bible!? wtf is this!
So you admit youre a muslim.
I was raised a Muslim my mom is a devout Muslim and my dad is a lapsed Muslim!
I dont practice though!
you need to start caring more. PSA to all the people who put me down.
So basically everything that happens in America is down to 2 factions of jews disagreeing with each other sometimes. The Likud jews and Robert Rubins people. Great. Thats democracy in the world’s most ‘advanced’ nation.
Why does age of empires 4 have the graphics of a mobile game? I would prefer if they never made it at all if it was going to be so bad.
The danish will do everything they can to stop musk owning some of the media. Watch out!
Do you think Musk is aware of the things kmac and Ruston wrote about? I honestly don’t know enough about him to even guess.
I’m also curious to know what fraction of 135+ IQ white gentiles in general are even aware. And whether there are big differences in awareness when you sort this group by intelligence or age.
My boomer dad is easily 135+ and he sort of buys into the Danish stuff but refuses to admit he accepts anything related to race/IQ.
My mom’s probably in the 120s and she just thinks this stuff is evil.
My boomer dad is easily 135+ and he sort of buys into the Danish stuff but refuses to admit he accepts anything related to race/IQ.
This is what the stats show. Danish awareness is positively correlated with IQ but HBD awareness is negatively correlated with IQ.
I think this is because high IQ people are morally superior (on average) & HBD is considered morally wrong because it marginalized the underdogs, while Danish awareness is considered okay (privately) because they have power.
If I had to guess I’d say Musk is HBD aware but not Danish aware. He claims to be autistic & looks and acts a bit autistic & in my experience, even high IQ autists tend not to be Danish aware.
Puppy youre once again wrong. HBD awareness is positively correlated with IQ.
FALSE. High IQ people typically think we’re all Africans under the skin because all humans lived in Africa until very recently. They think this because (1) it’s what you’re taught if you stay in school, (2) high IQ tend to be morally superior so are repulsed by racism, (3) the only blacks many high IQ people meet are the best & brightest ones, (4) smart whites don’t live or work around blacks so have less reason to internalize stereotypes, (5) when you’re dumb and white, whiteness is all that you have so you’ll naturally be drawn to HBD narratives.
It’s a classic example of the IQ distribution meme. Midwits are anti-HBD.
Yes a curvilinear relationship is always possible but I tend to reject those because Occam’s razor.
I passed the IQ test of inferring that ‘Danish’ is a euphemism, analogous to the common habit of working-class whites in my region substituting ‘Canadians’ for [n-word that pepe would redact]. Why Danish, though?
Ganzir your comment is a bit disturbing.
I have a cousin on my mothers side named Danish. He is Pakistani!
Sailer seems obsessed with bad black driving behaviour. Blacks crash their cars for the same reason men crash their cars more than women – testosterone. Sailer hasn’t mentioned this.
They also crash for the same reason women do. Low spatial ability
hahah! Pumpkin do you really believe that? blacks have a much much higher dynamic spatial ability meaning they can drive cars much much better than most people.
youve never been in a car with a black person. also youve probably never played Madden to get the analogy.
Asians are the worst drivers. they have very very low dynamic spatial ability. asians suck at Madden catching a football being able to process the shifts in overlaying objects etc.
this is called DYNAMIC spatial ability. much more important than rotating a Rubiks cube or building blocks or whatever mundane abilities that they may have.
only thing the spatial ability asians are good at would serve a purpose in is architecture and even then they have no creativity to build anything worthwhile!
Asians are bad drivers because they are overly cautious. They’re probably superior at dynamic spatial ability.
explain to me how they would have a higher dynamic spatial ability? i doubt it because their representation in football and video games requiring dynamic spatial ability is low!
can you tell me what makes you think theyd be good at these things when their representation is so poor and all pieces of evidence point against it?
i think blacks>whites>asians for this sort of thing and its easy to distinguish because thats how this tasks representation is qualified!
“Asians are bad drivers because they are overly cautious.”
wut?
So I put AOE 4 on max graphics and it still looks worse than AOE 3 which was made 15 years ago. LOL. What was the budget for this game spent on?
Is it just me or are the casualty numbers from the russian ukraine war pretty small. I expected 10k losses from a single battle but thats around the russian losses for the entire war so far.
Priti Patel has this great plan to process “asylum seekers” (i.e immigrants) from Rwanda…LOL. Great idea of course. But the danish media lost their minds at the decision. Even the ‘neutral’ BBC kept complaining about the “cruelty”.
When the media is in the hands of a determined ethnic minority it should be seized from them.
If it was up to me I wouldn’t even process the applications. Most asylum claims are lies. Its economic migration and it should be stopped.
the one reason to use nuclear weapons is to enforce freedom of speech.
Trouble is there’d be no one left to freely speak to.
Every Mug of Pee comment is like the verbal absurdity items on the old Binet where you have to spot what was foolish about the statement.
