I’m not talking about the normal distribution being valid at some value. Since it’s a continuous decaying function in either direction, it’ll be kosher at any real number. I’m talking about the hypothesis that IQ will be normally distributed not holding at that far deviations.
Oh, you mean that someone with an IQ of 100 is twice as smart as one with an IQ of 50 doesn’t hold with low numbers like 5 and 10 anymore? That doesn’t work in any case since IQ is just defined that way and it would be very difficult for such a scale to actually work. Probably impossible because there are a lot of aspects to intelligence, it isn’t one-dimensional.
I was wrong about the 13 billion. It’s more like 76 billion. But you can reach any number with enough tests.
