Yes they did. They're comparing adult IQ with child IQ. Those are different environments. It even said they changed the environments with age. This is your whole first sentence. No point in reading the rest if you're already starting off wrong. My original statement was referring to a different study. I already told you that, and I said you might be confused.

This is exactly my point. Well into adulthood - which would means in different environments - the IQs are similar. "The results show that the heritability of IQ reaches an asymptote at about 0.80 at 18–20 years of age and continuing at that level well into adulthood. In the aggregate, the studies also confirm that shared environmental influence decreases across age, approximating about 0.10 at 18–20 years of age and continuing at that level into adulthood"

@Serotoninluv Then why would their IQs be closer together as they get older? You'd think they would get further apart due to environmental factors. Besides, that was just a study that debunks your counterclaim - and unfortunately - I don't have access to the original twin study I was referring too. I think you really got confused by that, sorry I didn't make it clearer.

https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2013-bouchard.pdf Here's a study that shows that heritability of IQ increases with age if you'd like to read through the study.

@Extreme Z7 I read it in a book in the booklist so it wouldn't be fair for me to tell which one. It actually makes quite a lot of sense though that people with highly attractive traits would select mates that have highly attractive traits. That's probably why body symmetry and intelligence correlate

The problem is that people say they want to help - but they want someone else to do it - not themselves. Since you must have missed this two minute experiment I posted earlier, please watch for your viewing pleasure:

@Nemo28 @JustThinkingAloud Identical twins growing up in different environments (one good, one bad) will score the different scores when they are young. However, by age 60, their IQs will be identical again Most people would rather hang out with someone 10 IQ points higher than them than 10 IQ points lower than them it turns out, and this could be for a variety of reasons. IQ correlates with empathy, career success, relationships success, and even body symmetry.

I think all those things are important, and so do you. It actually seems like the Ravens IQ test is a good indicator of intelligence though.

Alright. I believe that the lower levels of the spiral, starting with beige, are more important to all of us. I believe that the higher the level, the less important it is. For example, I believe that property rights are more important drivers of change than idealism.

Not if we're discussing the effects of lead paint.

Could you word that again? The '(not all)' is referring to - people? First world countries?

Personally, I'd prefer not to get kicked in the mouth.

If I kick you in the mouth, is it relative to your state of consciousness? @Inliytened1

Virtue signaling is relative to who suffers the consequences and who doesn't - like those people from Sweden I showed you - they don't want to suffer the consequences of their virtue signaling. Virtue signaling is also about wanting others to know that you're open and agreeable, often for sexual reasons. That's why it kicks ass to be a progressive on a university campus.

@Angelo John Gage I'm saying Leo would not get in a relationship with a girl who has mentally retarded levels of general intelligence. He notices and cares about IQ whether he wants to admit or not.

@tenta We're talking about virtue signaling. It's very relevant to the current political climate. Check out this. It's only 2 minutes:

@Angelo John Gage I'd love to see you try to make it in their society.

So you'd be perfectly fine having a relationship with a mentally retarded girl? Lol.

Well, I think it's preferable not to have cancer, a low IQ, or to jump off a bridge. Fvck me for my opinion, right?

@kieranperez All I'm saying is that the lower stages take priority over the higher stages for EVERYONE even if they won't admit it. I think that's a fair statement and it's new perspective you could learn from.

The joys of Aspergers.

Bullshit. You wouldn't jump off a bridge.

Can't argue with that, you mind me fo these people here on the IamVerySmart subreddit.

Looks like I made a typo. What I meant to say is that you don't want cancer right now. Therefore, stage Beige takes priority. Just like stage orange takes priority over green. Most of the people here have never thought about this before.

Well, what I'm saying is true, and you're not refuting. Women value male intelligence more than men value female intelligence. It's hardwired. I don't see any reason why we can't discuss beige, purple, and red priorities without you calling people insecure. Then again, you don't even understand the spiral modal yet you worship it as a religion
