And next you're going to be telling us that HBD is false because the "consensus" of "scientists" say so?

People with a wife and kids don't have time to waste reading blogs.

"They found that children from privileged backgrounds excelled when they were deliberately sent to inner-city comprehensives " 
 
They did well on the tests, but I imagine that they got beat up by the minority children.

" To really be the best at something you need to have a burning desire to push yourself past your limits, to keep practicing and improve your skills. From what I've noticed (women that I know), women generally don't push themselves to be the best at something." 
 
This analysis is correct, women lack the urge to win, and this is a factor in women's absence at the top of all fields of human endeavor.

"Why are men 16 times more likely than women to compete in chess leagues? We are back to square one: maybe men are better at whatever skills chess tests, maybe men are more ambitious and competitive even when they're equally skilled as women, maybe men are pressured by society to go into chess and women away from it." 
 
Or perhaps the answer is that women find chess BORING. 
 
Women are more interested in competing to wear the most fashionable clothes.

"Alaskan Independence Party" 
 
If she were an active participant in such a libertarian organization, that would be a strong reason to support her! 
 
Unfortunately, she problably just spoke to them to get their votes.

Responsible behavior while pregnant is correlated with IQ. 
 
It's one of many ways in which low IQ parents provide an inferior environment for their children (beginning in the wom).

I agree with those who say that Obama is just reciting the standard pc left-wing response to h-bd.

"I certainly do not believe that Palin is dumber than (say) Joe Biden or Dan Quayle" 
 
Didn't they both graduate from law school and pass the bar exam? If Dan Quayle had ever failed the bar exam, the press would have told us about it a zillion times, they really had it in for him. 
 
Quayle was also a THINKER. He had his own ideas about reforming our tort system, which got ignored because after the liberal media hatchet job, no one took him seriously. What does Palin ever think about, besides her religion? 
 
A lot of people who can't pass the bar exam (I took bar review classes with them) can still sound intelligent when talking, and you wouldn't know the were IQ deficient based on seeing them on TV. 
 
Palin has not demonstrated the ability to pass a bar exam, or be knowledgeable on a broad array of policy issues as Biden or Quayle. 
 
There once was a young female Congresswoman named Susan Molinari. Everyone made a big deal about her for a while, because she was young, female, and Republican. But she was STUPID. She had no ideas except what smarter people put into her mouth. Her star died and now she's a nobody lobbyist (her knowledge of Congress is still valuable anyone who wants to pay for access).

As someone who understands the importance of IQ, I have a difficult time saying anything positive about the lowest-IQ VP in my lifetime. 
 
I don't know why you assume she's a libertarian. The only thing she seems to feel strongly about is evangelical Christian stuff. She supports oil drilling, but that's just a position that everyone from Alaska supports. 
 
Political philosophies are for higher IQ people. Palin is not a thinker. 
 
She probably hasn't thought about h-bd at all, but because rednecks aren't politically correct, she probably would find it amusing to discover that blacks are less intelligent than whites.

Unfortunately, the research method doesn't really tell us the underlying hereditable trait. 
 
There are probably at least two factors involved. People who are INTERESTED in politics are more likely to vote. 
 
And in the U.S., people are repeatedly told that voting is the right thing to do and that it's your responsibility to vote, so some sort of MORAL BEHAVIOR is involved.

Lucy Liu was a year behind me at the same high school, and I don't remember her at all. She wasn't hot enough, as a high school student, to stand out from the crowd.

I guess if I posted more photos of hot babes, I'd pick up more free links.

The linked-to PDF shows "mean" heights for U.S. population. Median heights would be more useful. A single midget can lower the "mean" with respect to a lot of normal people.

The new breastfeeding study is more junk science that I debunked at my blog. 
 
Breastfeeding does NOT boost IQ.

I would go with a web hosting service that does wikis. 
 
What's a good domain name? iq.org is taken.

tommy's idea above is brilliant. A "wiki" is what we need. I'm not sure how to set one up.

Or maybe short guys are just less likely to score with grown-up chicks, and turn to kiddie-fiddling instead. 
 
This is stated crudely, but there is truth here in the sense that being short has negative social implications, and will cause lower self esteem, greater rejection by women, and this stuff can lead to deviant sexual desires and other mental problems.

It's interesting to note that actors and actresses often have very impressive credentials, while such credentials are quite rare for musicians. 
 
Ivy League educated actors and actresses are a dime a dozen. Not the case for musicians.

You should use RACECOMB and not RACE. RACE is the old variable. 
 
Also be aware of the fact that there were "black ovesamples" in the 1980s. Use the black oversamples weighting for any analysis that includes that time period.
