There should be much greater variability in the IQ (in terms of IQ points) on retest at the extremes. A change from 130 to 145 is much more likely than from 100 to 115.Ian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837467954881003505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-26534558033890604802009-09-06T14:49:20.330-04:002009-09-06T14:49:20.330-04:00Steve,

In my high school in a small town in the Central Valley of Cal, the hardest and best class was chemistry. Everybody took it their senior year. Since I didn't care how I did, I took it as a junior with a female friend of mine who was our junior year science wiz, and the daughter of Donald Pretarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493535232127084725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-65642192265308622982009-09-05T18:05:11.532-04:002009-09-05T18:05:11.532-04:00You make a valid point, but I believe it is answer...You make a valid point, but I believe it is answered in the Terman data. Adult IQs were not appreciably higher (relative to childhood scores) in the Terman subset that pursued challenging careers than in the subset that did not. Of course this point deserves more scrutiny -- the SMPY study could address it using their older cohorts.Steve Hsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02428333897272913660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-46858658020163374002009-09-05T17:59:54.003-04:002009-09-05T17:59:54.003-04:00"Randomly sampled eminent scientists have (ve..."Randomly sampled eminent scientists have (very) high IQs"<br /><br />Like Feynman?
