How g-loaded is AP math?
The Project Talent dataset contains a math subtest with questions on topics only taught in grades 10 through 12.
Thus, we can roughly gauge the extent to which higher g enables mathematical proficiency beyond 'age appropriate' material.
We observe:

Spend enough time in Utah, and you start to believe libertarianism can work. People forget that it’s the values system (and yes Mormonism) that must underlay a political philosophy of trust.
Ivy’s are currently ~130 IQ. The mean PhD is 120, physics 130 - meaning a average difference of 10 points. Adding that to the sum the average Ivy league physicist is about 140 IQ. Polygenetic sources estimate about a rate of loss in mean IQ 1 point every 3 decades. Thus 20th century physics circa 1945 is a 143 IQ endeavor.
Mormons are the one of the most intelligent sects and, one of the few cultures with positive selection on intelligence. The table provided is from NLYS97, if we compute the effect of one generation of selection, the point estimate is 108.3.
If we adjust for race, assuming ~20% of Latter Day Saints are Hispanic -white Mormon have a mean IQ of ~110, comparable to ashkenazim and atheists, making them the smartest religious sect of whites.
