yeah, that's part of why the idea always seemed dumb to me, even in garden variety depression things like brain atrophy (as seen on mris) and reports of "brain fog" are common, doesn't make much sense for it to be associated with higher intelligence when it itself hinders intelligence

higher intelligence during bursts of mania in bipolar patients does make sense tho, i imagine its something like going on an extended dexy binge, but better, and with a really shitty come down

There's a lot of possibilities. It could be that having high and low IQ predispose you to mental illness, but mental illness then lowers your effective IQ resulting in an overall measured negative trend, or it could be that there's no relationship in itself but mental illness generally lowers your IQ resulting in a measured negative trend, and a ton of others.

Likely something we won't ever have a clear picture on.

that's where longitudinal studies like the swedish one come in though, no? they should be able to tell u at least if it's the former or the latter

Wrong
100 is the average of any current society

LOL

Disgusting

You should look up how percentiles work.

I know you're just a dumb multi, but I'm bored.

Do you think China will change their exam questions because too many Canadian or American students can't adapt to the structure of current test standards?

Or a shithole country that advertises Canada as a product.in their medialeading to surges of localized emmigration

IQ is the best predictor of lifetime success, coming in at approximately 25% of the variance (as in 75% of what makes people successful, on average, is unrelated to IQ). The argument that IQ tests are racist is due to the ugly truth of test results, where asians and jews stack up at the top and other groups towards to bottom. They've done massive studies that have looked at this from every possible angle and the type and format of tests are irrelevant, people who score at the top of one test will score similarly in any and every other test that involves cognitive abstraction. IQ is the best predictor we have (which is not very good, but the best of our crappy tools), followed by conscientiousness/industriousness (~12%), and by now the Big-Five personality characteristics have been measured and tested over many decades and in most countries, to the tune of millions of people. There isn't a lack of data or even a discussion on the validity, the evidence is overwhelming and reliable and the matter was settled quite definitively, many years ago.
