flawed metric since blacks have a retarded culture where kids are neglected and are not encouraged to be well behaved and studious. correlation and causation and all that. however a lot of people support this idea so maybe the data supports the model as well

Why are you insinuating causation when OP aswell as the discussion is not centered around, not even concerned with causation.
OP posted a statistic, the results of measurements, something factual. And OP wants to know if it is real, not why it may be real.
It seems very common for this topic to be confronted by the 'we have no proof it's genetic'-crowd, even when no one even brought up that idea. Also how would it even matter if its nature or nurture ? I could see it to be relevant if it was the test for example. Care to explain how it's relevant ?
>>16175964
Most of the data that is available on this subject strongly implies something like this is accurate. It may not exactly be the numbers shown in your picrel but the general situation.
Fun thing: The data also implies cases of abormally high intelligence are equally common in all people and centered around equally high intelligence scores.

socioeconomic factors
>>
>Is there some truth behind it?
The graph is derived from real data that was collected in the 1960s at the end of segregation
The issue is whether the results are really worth comparing. The outcome of the study more so reflects the disparity in opportunity during the time. Blacks during this period had an 8% illiteracy rate and whites a 2% illiteracy rate, partially explaining the increased density of blacks with lower IQ. If roughly 8% of the sample collected are functionally illiterate, how could they occupy any point above borderline retarded on the distribution?
Black students were provided worse schooling options than whites as per pupil funding levels were 10x higher for white students.
It seems kind of retarded to compare the two groups if you can't control for the above socioeconomic factors.
Whites during the time had on average higher literacy rates, public funding, less cluttered classrooms and possessed higher levels of inter-generational and social advantages. Blacks had drastically lower literacy rates, public funding and families who were less able to provide any inter-generational advantages.
A 2000s study found that black IQ on average is gaining on white IQ, even as the average white IQ increased. With that gain in black IQ what was increasing? Higher schooling participation rates, equal per pupil funding and access to the same level of teachers. If the only determinant of IQ was race, black IQ would still be stagnant.
>Is this kind of research just not considered politically correct in this day and age or was it just bullshit all along?
It's not considered worthwhile because it doesn't really provide any meaningful insights, taking the graph at face value provides us with what? There is 1 biased causal inference that can be made and no remediating actions available to mitigate the discrepancy. The scientific consensus is that there is no evidence for a genetic component to explain the differences in racial IQ

I saw a survey that showed 70% of 'x' believed it had a genetic component. This was done in the 1980s, so, yeah. There is a lot of evidence that it is partly genetic. In regardless to the consensus question, we can't really do one. It's just too 'hot'. Every time it's tried, 95% refuse to answer the survey. I saw another survey that was done in 2015, 2016; 50-60% agreed that 'race' was taxonomically informative. The real answer is that its rather open ended. I'll try to find the sources.

>another survey that was done in 2015, 2016; 50-60% agreed that 'race' was taxonomically informative.
I believe some sort-of university faculty took part, but I'm not certain. There was a positive correlation between education and considering 'race' to be valid. The race question, in my view, is a straw man. Ethnicity>Race. Race is a sweeping generalisation, it's not meant to 'real'. Whatever that means.

It's well known that LLM are not intelligent, but IQ test well. Pic related.
This calls into question the validity of IQ tests, or if you doggedly assert the validity of IQ tests, the validity of Spearman's hypothesis itself.

White supremacy is an axiom. Under their framework, IQ tests are valid, because they produce results that don't contradict the axiom. This is by design: as Edwin Boring once said, "Intelligence is what an intelligence test measures."

You're a bit confused too. You see, someone brought up the almost reflex-like 'it could be something other than genetics' that is usually heard when this is discussed, even when it was never part of the original question. OPs question can be translated wether the data is valid and an accurate representation of reality. OPs question is not regarding causation.
Now the thing that gives this behaviour away is the fact that it is really really hard to determine the root cause of the data being what it is. Theres is a multitude of possibilities, some of which have been ruled out and others which are very hard to rule out, but the suggestions out of a certain direction always display this hyperfixation on the possibility of one possible cause not being the determining factor: Genetics. This then almost forces the neutral observer who cares more about the scientific method than politics to believe the cause of this weird reflex might actually be politic motivation. Politically motivated intuition is not part of objective reasoning and the scientific method.
Long story short: Genetics is on the table still. Just like socio-economic factors. Purely economic factors have largely been ruled out by now.

Let’s take the politics out of it and go back to the basics of biology.

Take two populations of the same species. Not humans- let’s say rabbits.

Isolate them genetically for a significant period (usually such isolation is caused by geography but it doesn’t matter why so long as interbreeding is minimal and is over enough generations for natural selection and genetic drift to occur).

Will there be a divergence of traits between the two populations?

The answer is yes, of course. Some traits will diverge becasue of natural selection, some because of sexual selection and some just becasue of genetic drift.

After all that is how evolution works - it simply must be the case.

Evolution isn’t just about when two populations diverge so greatly that a new species or sub-species forms - it’ happening daily for all sorts of traits and characteristics of an animal.

And the traits that most directly impact on fitness will tend to be subject to strong selection.

So wind it back to humans.

Have certain populations of humans being genetically isolated from each other for many generations?

Yes. We tend to call them ethnicities.

Will their traits vary as between population groups?

Yes. Hair type, blood group, eye colour, facial features, ability to digest certain foods, average height, body shape etc. All these traits demonstrably differ between ethnic groups.

Is intelligence a trait of humans that will likewise vary?

You can logically only choose one answer:

A) Yes - and as intelligence is one of a human’s key traits it is likely to be selected for quite strongly in different environments and communities,

B) No - intelligence is a special trait - alone amongst all traits it’s not possible for it to vary between groups at all - all groups of human beings have the same average intelligence.

If you pick B fine, but don’t expect to pass a biology class any time soon.

Truth be told I'm leaning more towards bullshit.

Because the idea that whites can be intelligent enough to do advance technology but lack the foresight from pricing themselves out of there own economic markets in terms of home, food and transportation expenses is counterintuitive. It's even more counterintuitive when you see them driving themselves into trillions in debt and lower birthrates but lack solutions to fix it while still being able to figure out solutions to send some satellites into low orbit space or send autonomous vehicles to Mars.

It gives off "functional autist" vibes, where high IQ is present but lacks proficiency in everyday generality.

It isn't counterituitive, white people got tricked bybjews into poisoning themselces with iron, and starving themselves of heavy metals, so the typical white is now completely literally a brain damaged retard.

IQ was bullshit all along, the original tests were meant to screen who would need additional help by the teachers in school, the scope of school is very narrow and it primarily rewards rule-following and sitting still. Not touchy, hands on learning that boys would need.

>>16203226
White men score higher than white women but their score is rounded down because it's true that girls score higher than boys in verbl test, before puberty, so that is what perpetuates that myth.
After puberty men score higher in both verbal and quant ability.
Also asians on average score lower than whites is just east asians (urban china, korean and japan) that score higher than whites but they also score lower in some aspects of IQ and have different personalities on average than whites (less extraversion, lower openness to new ideas, ...) so that creates a highly conformist, non-inovative but well working society.

If legit is it a measure of your ability to learn which would increase as you learn more (like a skill) or is it something god given that has no effect in the real world and an industrious low IQ person will outperform a lazy high IQ person 10 times out of 10?

As you reach your conclusion please bear in mind, from my earlier argument about the major invetions (which btw happened in a culture that rewarded innovation heavily) that these inventions and the industrial revolution as a whole came about because of tradesmen thinking outside of the box. it was NOT something that came from self aggrandazing "itelligent" people studying at the universities.

Oddly enough that's how I came to the conclusion that "race" is real.

It's so stupid that it hurts my head. People have different average for height and weight and cancer rates and everything from hair type to bacteria in our stomachs can be different. Just how the fuck would it be possible for 2 different groups to have the same average iq? There is simply no fucking way.

Is proven false by what I said and the > the scope of school is very narrow and it primarily rewards rule-following and sitting still. Not touchy, hands on learning that boys would need.
Is also false as I explained that white men higher IQ and more innovative and "agressive and innovative" personalties is what made european civilization the most dominant and advanced civ with a lot of major invetions made by white men.
So IQ is legit and your criticism is wrong.
