This doesn't really inspire confidence given the recent reproducibility crises.

Wait, but the IQ/intelligence link is reproducible.

Are you just saying that "most reproducible" is a low bar? (If so, that makes sense.)

Yes, sorry for the lack of clarity. I mean in the same way that infinity+1 > infinity is a trivial difference and only technically true.

Just as something to ponder, this caught my eye:

> The correlation between IQ and general intelligence is one of the more reproducible results in psychology.

and raises the question;

How do you measure | rank 'general intelligence' in a reliable and reproducable manner fully independantly of IQ measures in order to claim a correlation

.. there's just a smattering of chicken and egg there.
