Not the case with my two boys. My oldest is smart and athletic, but my youngest has a higher IQ. He took an IQ test at school when he was 10 and scored a 148. He made a 25 on an ACT practice test at 11.

My oldest scored 135 on his IQ test.

IQ tests are being proven to be fundamentally flawed


Link? I think you'll find the metric by which they evaluate IQ to be flawed.

i.e. "Someone with IQ of 100 is a Billionaire, and someone with an IQ of 150 makes $15/hour so obviously IQ flawed!"

or

"green people avg 110 IQ and blue people avg 90 iq, so being that we are all equal, IQ tests are flawed"

I believe this might be sort of true, as far as IQ goes. As the third of 4, it seems that way with us, though it's not much of a noticeable difference. However, our incomes and career paths would suggest exactly the opposite. However, being educated in job fields with good outlook has nothing to do with IQ. Glad I was just dumb enough to not go for my biggest dreams, instead going for a slightly lesser dream with much more income.

In general, there is a positive correlation between IQ and income levels, but it plateaus above a certain level. Basically, you have to be "smart enough" but intelligence above that threshold doesn't do much for your stature in life and has a negative correlation to happiness at very high IQs.

IQ isn't concerned about high income. That's animalistic greed. IQ really just shows that you won't be a burden to society.

The more older brothers a boy has, the more likely he is to be gay when he grows up – an effect called the “fraternal birth order effect”.

Now it seems that increasing levels of antibodies in a mother’s immune system could play a role.


So the youngest son is prolly gay here?
