I think you need to draw the picture for yourself. If the parents had
the smarts to put their kid in a prep course, that would be a good
predicter of intelligence.

Not really. It would correlate strongly with how much money the parents had,
and how plugged in they were to the college admission process (which
probably varies considerably from region to region). It would correlate much
less strongly with the parents' IQ.

So, income and understanding of college admission processes and
procedures are not correlated to raw IQ? I guess those highly
intelligent guys in prison are a lot more savvy than the lawyers,
doctors, and high tech professionals. Of course, in your case, I
couldn't agree more. g
