@markessien @mwfowlie @SteveStuWill What?! This conversation took a crazy turn.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@SteveStuWill This is true, but habits is also highly correlated with IQ. People with higher IQ use better study strategies, for example.

@markessien @mwfowlie @SteveStuWill Here you go sir, you can download a list of 709 genes associated with intelligence: https://t.co/Mx5weCPROf

This is supplementary data #6 taken from the following study:

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx Other than processing speed, they're in the 80s.

Either way you initially said that IQ only measures one type of intelligence. If you claim that verbal comprehension, visual processing, etc are subtypes of the one type of intelligence, then what is that "type" of intelligence?

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx "heavily" affected by the environment is a bit strong for something that is 80% genetic when measured in adulthood.

Either way, IQ being affected by the environment is not related to the validity of IQ tests.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx I did not say that. That's how you interpreted it. It has high validity as a measure of intelligence.

As to your other point, yes environment is a factor, but not brain training. Brain training has not been found to meaningfully changed IQ scores.

@rizzolosophy This is staged. That guy appeared in more than one of the content creator's videos

@MattWalshBlog Research does not support this method of emotional regulation at all.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx Whether there's "one way" to measure intelligence is again, irrelevant. Regarding a "true" measure of intelligence... Nobody serious even talks like that. It is subjective and emotional language. But whether there's a "measure with validity"... For that, we have a consensus.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx Dude, they're generally in the .80s-. 90s. I didn't hide anything 🤦🏽‍♂️ it just wasn't in the image.

Researchers' disagreement on the *best* way to measure intelligence does not change the fact that it does measure a construct of *various cognitive abilities* (intelligence).

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx I'm not arguing semantics, I'm arguing the concept. If you're saying it measures one type 'of smaller subtypes" then please explain what type of intelligence it measures.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@Dzyan__ @thedarshakrana I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx You repeatedly claimed IQ is “one type of intelligence,” which is demonstrably false. You didn't do the minimum homework, such as asking "what is an IQ test" before forming an opinion. Not understanding the statistics is one thing. But at least know why you don't know.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx 2/2
It is quite reasonable to call that factor IQ... Given that it is a factor representing performance on various types of intelligence. In your next reply you said we would need a series of tests that focus on different aspects of intelligence. That's what an IQ test *is*

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@yaggiuand @thesupermanmx 1/2
As I suspected, you clearly do not understand what you are writing about. Way out of your element here. g is the result of the correlations between various cognitive abilities, showing a common factor accounting for variance across their performance.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@Dzyan__ @AVGirl4Life At least the opinion was mine.

[Shai Tabib @Shai_Tabib]

@chopps @one_hardTruth They are basic tests that measure knowledge. History, literature, math, scientific literacy. These will never not be relevant.

@TheMahleek It is an obvious ad for Cantina
