    News Does Voter IQ Influence Election Outcomes?

    These figures are inaccurate because it's solely based on word of the pollees. Only 24.4% of the US adult population is a college graduate yet the exit polls show 42% has a college degree? Even assuming that virtually every college graduate voted, the numbers do not add up. And 16% with...

    News Does Voter IQ Influence Election Outcomes?

    Are people really this gullible?? It's a hoax. Shouldn't posting hoaxes be against the rules of this forum? "The Bush-voters-have-lower-IQs hoax appears to have run its course. The editor at American Assembler who posted the table that got the whole firestorm going has posted an abject...

    Why Does Europe Seem Better Made, Better Tasting, and Better Looking?

    cragwolf seemed to have failed to mention this. :-p "Melbourne and Vancouver are the best cities in the world for expatriates to live in, according to a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit." http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/10/04/world.cities/#fulllist

    Why Does Europe Seem Better Made, Better Tasting, and Better Looking?

    Alright I just looked at the list. There is only 1 US city in the top 30? What is Boston doing at #28? 11 of the top 40 seems to be in America. Also Vancouver is ranked first? Now I know this list has no credibility. Vancouver, as decent of a city it is, is just a dumbed down version of...

    Why Does Europe Seem Better Made, Better Tasting, and Better Looking?

    In that the average American has more money and spending power than the average European. I don't know what the criterias were for "livable cities" but by standard of living I was speaking in terms of money. So you're suggesting that the average American house is inferior in quality to the...

    $15,000 for a Honda Accord? Maybe a Honda Civic. Honda Accord will run over 20 grand.

    Why Does Europe Seem Better Made, Better Tasting, and Better Looking?

    To be fair America does have a higher standard of living than Europe. And the phrase "live large" applies heavily in America. The average house in America is over 3 times bigger than the average European house. Latest statistics show the typical America house at over 2,300 square feet. With the...

    Questions on _g_ and intelligence

    IQ tests measure intelligence. Repeated studies show it's very accurate in measuring Spearman's g. And I'm not sure what you mean by "old and widely" saying because it seems it has always been accepted that IQ measure intelligence. Spearman's g. Creativity is not intelligence. Where are...

    Cranial Size and Intelligence Link

    Whether or not 0.5 would be a high correlation or a mild correlation, it surely wouldn't be nothing. It would show there is a reasonable genetic connection. For biology, I could understand why 0.2 would be considered a low correlation but for social sciences I can see why it would be...

    Cranial Size and Intelligence Link

    As the comments above are completely ignorant to the basics of science, brain anatomy, and a complete insult to anyone having a scientific background, I will ignore this post.

    Cranial Size and Intelligence Link

    I do not know of any scientist that would consider 0.5 a low correlation. 0.5 is generally thought to be a considerably high correlation. Researches on homosexuality as printed in the journals of Science, General Psychiatry, and American Journal of Psychiatry show a genetic correlation of 0.5...
