Alright, I’ll put it another way. This theory suggests an extremely high correlation between social skills and intelligence, perhaps as high as 1. Let’s say 0.9. The average LWer, if I remember the survey results right, tends to have IQs in the 120-150 range, putting them in a high percentile of the populace, perhaps in the top 3% or so. Would you say the average LWer is even in the top 10% of the populace for social skills?
I don’t know what theory you’re referring to, or where that figure of 1 or 0.9 comes from. It certainly doesn’t come from me. Neither do I know enough LWers well enough to form any judgment of their average competence.

Something has gone wrong somewhere if you think that is my theory.
Social information is not supposed to be equal to body language/subtext.
I’ll change the wording.
