@NathanpmYoung You think it's odd that people have strong views about a high-salience political issue? This is just selection on the dependent variable

@dubitaniel I think it’s odd that a hyper specific geopolitical view is such a strong value apart from the specific discussion of that geopolitical situation.

I find it wild how strong young women's views are on Gaza. And if pushed, will they be able to explain their position in detail?

✴️6 in 10 (58%) say they would find it difficult to date someone who disagreed on Gaza ✴️3 in 4 (74%) say the say the same about views of Donald Trump, with even more saying they wouldn't date someone who disagreed about social justice

Everyone's IQ is exactly 100. Stop thinking about it

This is what the self-reported IQ distribution looks like btw

@liquidprismata Epistemically robust? I thought we were talking about psychology

i already tweeted about this but to reiterate:
ya the avg IQ is reported as upper 120's. this is really high; i think this is a mix of people being more likely to report IQs if they are high, of people misremembering/rounding up (e.g. older people report higher IQs), and also that you're way more likely to get IQ tested as a kid if people notice you're smart.
And the survey did try to hone in on it being official and not a random online test. The question people got was "Have you ever had an officially administered IQ test", and IF they say yes, then I give them a second question asking "what was the score on that test?"
Imo if you test a random sample of the population they're likely to be close to 100 distribution; if you ask the distribution of *people who have gotten IQ tested voluntarily* it is going to be very unusually high. It'd be weird if it *were* 100-centered!

If buses hadn't been invented yet, and the reasons you're against Waymo would also imply banning buses, they're bad reasons.

@microfounded Oh nvm I misread your post, my bad.
I want to agree but I think there are multiple sources of bias here (misreporting + selection)

@microfounded Could you explain this? I thought classical measurement error definitionally has a mean of zero

It includes never before seen insights about Simon Baron Cohen and his ill fated Spectrum10k study that you will not find anywhere else in the autism analysis sphere.

People have been asking "What is with your weird one-sided beef with the neurodiversity movement?" Well, wonder no longer.

@liquidprismata unwise to speak with confidence if the better answer is "idk"

Ambiguous self-report items thread. Someday I will compile these to create the most useless instrument of all time

THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE 😂 RAADS-R : Are you a sympathetic person? Me: Like a sympathetic character? Do people sympathise with me? How would I know? Do you want to know if I sympathise with others? Who? When? In a "my sympathies" kind of way? Does it count for positive emotions?

"There's no way the respondents could misconstrue this!" Bro the respondents are about to take your construct validity out back and shoot it

Wonder how many respondents on that survey answered “Have you had an officially administered IQ test?” in the affirmative because of this specific Open Psychometrics test with a big red disclaimer
Daniel Vega@dubitaniel
@Aella_Girl I agree there was probably selection bias related to both the sample and the item. But also the "officially administered IQ test" wording is likely to be misunderstood and of course people tend to inflate estimates of their own intelligence.

as penance for participating in IQ discourse I will confess to being a midwit wordcel

@Aella_Girl I don't think it's that big a deal that there was an item with those issues in your survey. I do think it was unwise for you to respond, in your capacity as a researcher, to the question "what's the lowest IQ fetish?" with a summary table when you knew the issues with the data
English
@Aella_Girl None of the efforts I've seen to capture intelligence with self-report estimates in the literature have performed very well and I imagine most survey methodologists would have advised against using the item in the first place
