Estimating the IQ of EO Wilson
EO Wilson claims he got a 123 on an IQ test - unlike Greg Cochran, I don’t believe it.
He shouldn’t be regressed to the mean of the general population. Instead, he should be regressed to the mean of an eminent scientist, which is roughly 149 according to the best methods available. This rounds him up to an estimate of 126, assuming that an IQ test has a reliability of 0.9.
