Do you have statistics about how many sociopaths take extra-long online tests …
The verbiage “statistically speaking” was supposed to imply an acknowledgement that I know that the statistics were based on the overall population, not the specific context.
As a sidenote one would think that people willing to lie about their IQ would be positively correlated with people that look up Bayes’ birthdate before filling in their ‘estimation’. Anyone making a statistical analysis regarding this?
Ooh. This is a very, very good point. And if the survey participants really wanted to look gifted, they’d have probably decided that fudging the Bayes question was a necessity. I added your thought to my IQ accuracy comment. Upvote.
Downvoted for this statement and overall unnecessary rude tone.
Thank you for explaining your downvote.
Is it that you disagree with Well-Kept Gardens Die By Pacifism or that you do this in a different way? If you have some different method, what is it?
Note: It’s probably inevitable that someone will ask me why I seem to agree with the spirit of this article, if I don’t believe in “elitism”. My answer is, succinctly, that humans seek like-minded people to hang out with, that this is part of fulfilling one’s social needs, and that it’s silly to allow our attempt to get basic needs met to be politicized and called “elitism” just because we gather around intellectualism when it is no different from the desire of a single mom to spend some time out with adults because children can’t have the same conversations or the desire of hunting-minded people to engage in activities without vegetarians harping on them (or vice versa).
