d and s became mensa members when they were 7 and 9 (it may have been six and eight). i made them members so that i could take them to the occasional talk, and get them free tickets to opera rehearsals. i became a member because of the free beer we get in the large hospitality suite of the beer maker - they stock about 100 kinds, i think; i drink kilian's red, but am no connoisseur - where we hold our monthly meetings.Rishi wrote: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9907853/Schoolgirl-12-has-higher-IQ-than-Einstein.html

we didn't get them tested; their school did. s was in the top 1%, and d, in the top 0.1%. yes, this is the s whose high-school gpa was 2.75 out of 4.

philip, when i brought my relevance-o-meter within three quarters of a mile of your post, it recorded the following reading.

captainkar, the thread is about iq. the beer? i liked writing about it. i suspect your instrument is an irrelevance meter.Captain Bhankas wrote:Jeremiah Mburuburu wrote:d and s became mensa members when they were 7 and 9 (it may have been six and eight). i made them members so that i could take them to the occasional talk, and get them free tickets to opera rehearsals. i became a member because of the free beer we get in the large hospitality suite of the beer maker - they stock about 100 kinds, i think; i drink kilian's red, but am no connoisseur - where we hold our monthly meetings.

you are upset. and angry.
I'm funding a study by the local community college that will find that old farts that brag about their achievements and past are usually failed OR consultants that live alone in near penury.

Why g matters: The complexity of everyday life
Linda S. Gottfredson
Abstract
Personnel selection research provides much evidence that intelligence (g) is an important predictor of performance in training and on the job, especially in higher level work. This article provides evidence that g has pervasive utility in work settings because it is essentially the ability to deal with cognitive complexity, in particular, with complex information processing. The more complex a work task, the greater the advantages that higher g confers in performing it well. Everyday tasks, like job duties, also differ in their level of complexity. The importance of intelligence therefore differs systematically across different arenas of social life as well as economic endeavor. Data from the National Adult Literacy Survey are used to show how higher levels of cognitive ability systematically improve individual's odds of dealing successfully with the ordinary demands of modern life (such as banking, using maps and transportation schedules, reading and understanding forms, interpreting news articles). These and other data are summarized to illustrate how the advantages of higher g, even when they are small, cumulate to affect the overall life chances of individuals at different ranges of the IQ bell curve. The article concludes by suggesting ways to reduce the risks for low-IQ individuals of being left behind by an increasingly complex postindustrial economy.
-----------------------------------
Searching for a good longitudinal study of high IQ individuals and specifically other factors (EQ, Personality etc..) that have predictive value for future 'success'.

You are one of the following.
1. Statistician
2. Economist
Please tell me if I am wrong.
BTW do you know what exactly the letter "g" in that article means?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)
"The g factor (short for "general factor") is a construct developed in psychometric investigations of cognitive abilities. It is a variable that summarizes positive correlations among different cognitive tasks, reflecting the fact that an individual's performance at one type of cognitive task tends to be comparable to his or her performance at other kinds of cognitive tasks. The g factor typically accounts for 40 to 50 percent of the variance in IQ test performance, and IQ scores are frequently regarded as estimates of individuals' standing on the g factor.[1] The terms IQ, general intelligence, general cognitive ability, general mental ability, or simply intelligence are often used interchangeably to refer to the common core shared by cognitive tests.[2]"

his overall sat score was 1560 out of 1600, the rough equivalent of today's 2340 out of 2400, in his only attempt in high school. that, i think, put him in the 99th percentile or top 1% of test takers.Rishi wrote:Jeremiah Mburuburu wrote:d and s became mensa members when they were 7 and 9 (it may have been six and eight). i made them members so that i could take them to the occasional talk, and get them free tickets to opera rehearsals. i became a member because of the free beer we get in the large hospitality suite of the beer maker - they stock about 100 kinds, i think; i drink kilian's red, but am no connoisseur - where we hold our monthly meetings.

imagine if he had taken more attempts, could have aced it. Imagine this forum then.

Poor guy. He has been waxing nostalgic lately about kids who did not grow up with him. Let him be.
