Interesting reading. I skimmed two of them, but I shall avail myself of
them more thoroughly when time permits.


Jeff, you look like a right plonker when you try to sound "English".





However I think the relationship, as stated in these treatises, between

SAT
scores and IQ is a theoretical one at best, and a casual one at worst. As
Dave has pointed out several times, there are myriad other factors that

can
affect success or failure on such exams. Given a small, well-defined
population of similarly raised, similarly-educated individuals, I think

that
the SAT scores may correlate well with IQ. But the demographics of the
total population of students taking such exams is not so narrow, rather
widely varied throughout the country and throughout the socio-economic
spectra. Reality seldom emulates theory where humans are concerned.


Max, the states with the lower IQ's voted for Bush. You, Dave, Loco and Joe
all prove that you are typical Bush supporters.


How did your state vote?
