How many do you think have college degrees?
They can Bluff you into thinking they are educated.

That's not encouraging to see a month or so before I turn 40.

I'm going to need a link because I don't believe this at all. I don't like her, she's extremely weird and socially awkward, but I don't believe she is dumb. She's certainly not as smart as she thinks she is, or her followers believe she is, but she is average to above average at least.
Where would she be but for Willie Brown?

This is PT. Don't you know that the "brain trust " on here all have IQ' s 135 and above?
Just ask them. The OP is Nassim Nicholas Taleb level smart.

That's why, for example in math, if you don't have your big discovery by 30, you're considered over. Similar for other high analytical fields like chess and poker, where after 30-35 things start to fall off. Lost your fluid thinking and ability to be atypically creative.

How is that relevant to the discussion?

The Congressional Black Caucus comes to mind. Ketanji Brown, the "Wise" Latina, most Democrat city mayors, all of Obama's judicial nominees.

All of my Gifted classmates got an IQ test in elementary when testing for the program.
The testing for the program is done in elementary years. But that's not the IQ test. IQ has nothing to do with what you have learned. It's the brain's capacity to learn and it's determined in your genes while your mom is pregnant. The testing for GT stuff is mastery of subject matter thus far and then they add IQ as a big factor. When you enter 1st grade you have a folder in the school's office that already contains your IQ.

I can't imagine that's true for everyone, though. People that continue to use their brains in a variety of ways probably don't lose as much as they age.
For example, an avid reader probably wouldn't have as much difficult with word recall as someone who isn't exposed to a robust vocabulary.

She has a law degree... she had to pass the Bar Exam.

Well people are pointing to the offices she has held as evidence that she must be smart. When in fact the only reason she achieved those things is by fellating Willie. Comprende?

When you score a Wechler for example there are tables with ages and raw scores that you use to get a composite scores, for example an 8 year old with the same raw scores on each subtests may have a higher Full Scale IQ with the same raw scores as a 16 year old.
In this graph you posted crystallized intelligence (stuff you learn over time) doesn't really go down. Not everybody learns that "Kleopatra is the queen of the Nile" or if "Thomas has 10 pencils and he give 5 away how many does he have left" at the same age. Some people are exposed to things at an earlier age due to better incomes, better area they were born in, church even. Some parents actually read to their children at night, take them to libraries, and go on trips. Those children are ahead of the average, most Lilley why they started "head start" programs. they are really not a HeadStart, more like "try to catch them up".
As you age you do forget things you learn but on your graph you showed it probably wouldn't be significant. but a person over the age of 25 would most likely have diminished ability to reason and solve problems, Overall IQ would be lower as processing speed composite would decrease over time.

linguistic/verbal intelligence is only one type of intelligence.

I don't understand the obsession with thinking about women you dislike engaging in sexual activity around here.

On what basis do you make this conclusion?
Complex Numbers- Hamilton in his late 30s. Euler in his 40s with the Euler Identity. Mobius with the Mobuis band at 68.
The Simonton equation shows that its a little over 21 year half life for mathematicians in terms of their productive outputs. Psychology Report. Indeed, to the extent that you are dealing with creative potential, scholarship typically sustains longer into later years with creativity and the arts having much steeper fall offs.

Nah, but perhaps the median IQ of her supporters.

Some women might. But, because I know something about the real world, I know that people will fabricate disparaging things and claim them about people they dislike.
