Estimating the IQ of Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan has done an actual IQ test (127), which makes this estimate very easy and reliable. He has a net worth of 120 M, which I will also take into consideration.
There are currently 22 millionaires in the USA and 614 billionaires in the USA - if I had to guess there are probably ~10000 people in the USA with a net worth of 120M, though it’s hard to tell. This translates to a wealth z-score of 4.
This results in an estimate of 127 with a rather low standard error (5.8)
97 individuals in the simulation used to estimate.
code:
g <- rnorm(60000000, mean=0)
iq <- 0.9*g + rnorm(60000000)*sqrt(1-0.9^2)
cs <- 0.35*g + rnorm(60000000)*sqrt(1-0.35^2)
subby1 <- data.frame(iq, cs)
subby1$g = g
subby2 <- subset(subby1, (subby1$iq > 1.75 & subby1$iq < 1.85) & (subby1$cs > 3.8 & subby1$cs < 4.2))
mean(subby2$g)*15
sd(subby2$g)*15
