The below chart creates 20 genetic clusters (k=20). The colour coding shows which ethnic groups are the most genetically related and the cross group admixture. See key for constituent clusters.

The reason the U.S. Army requires a minimum IQ of 83 is perfectly captured in the book "McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War."
The cohort routinely struggled to point and aim a rifle, throw a grenade and tie their boots to basic standards.

Many people are surprised that reaction time is positively correlated with IQ. Reaction time reflects a persons mental processing speed, and so is considered a good indication of general intelligence.
When universities accept students with lower test scores from underrepresented groups, they’re unintentionally increasing public bias.
Which of these new Stanford surgeons would you trust most to operate on a sick family member.

Very interesting topic. The world's longest-running birth cohort data collection, the Dunedin Study from New Zealand, found women were just as likely to be domestic violence perpetrators as men.
This is one of the best free IQ tests from Mensa. The test takes around 30 minutes. The average score is around 100 and anything over 130 is very high.
“If there is nothing that someone with an IQ below 83 can do in the army what makes you think there is something they can do in the general population”.

Why is the Australian accent so hard to copy? Even the best actors in the world seem to have trouble with it. Most Australians can spot the fake accent a mile away.
Why do men dominate in chess? One reason is likely related to spatial ability which shows a significant sex difference. Greater male variability in IQ is also likely playing a role.
Important to all bell curves is small differences at the average make big differences at the extreme tails. Progressives understand this immediately when it comes to climate change but devolve into Nassim Taleb levels of mental gymnastics when it comes to group IQ differences.
Jealousy of other peoples success is so strange to me. I am happy for my friends and indeed strangers when they succeed. Working hard is the best way to achieve your goals and jealousy is wasted energy.
