I don’t find it that hard to see why Lesswrong and Mensa would both select for introverted personalities. Do you?
I think most sensible people can deduce that IQ is positively correlated with SAT and ACT and all of them are positively correlated with “status”. I agree that SAT and ACT are more difficult to fudge though. I haven’t ever done either of them. Can they be easily redone several times? Do (smart) people liberally talk about their scores in the US?
Many people do IQ tests of different calibers several times and could just remember or report the best result they’ve gotten. There are different levels of dishonesty. “Lying” is a bit crude.
