Numerous studies have shown statistically significant correlations between height and IQ, even when controlling for socioeconomics and education. The correlation exists in both the developed and developing world and persists across age groups. Height has been shown to be a good predictor of IQ.
>Birth weight showed no association with childhood IQ. However, height at age 9 years was a significant predictor of childhood IQ after adjusting for socioeconomic status doi.org/10.1093/ije/dyi038
Dutch twin study find there are genes that can affect both height and IQ at the same time: >In adulthood, a correlation was found between height and FSIQ in young adulthood and between height and VIQ in middle age. All correlations could be ascribed to genetic factors influencing both height and IQ. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17081263/
why are the parents years of education all continuous values like 10.232 when it should be at worst quarters if one parent did a 1/2 year
Henry Myers
My whole family are short, yet have all gone to university and all range between a gifted, or above average IQ. So...
Kevin Lewis
Nice anecdote manlet. It's called an outlier.
Avg of both parents.
Hudson Peterson
This is exactly the kind of information the mainstream media will never report on. But I personally think it's important to have these difficult conversations.
Jason Hill
>Tfw when 173 cm, but still packing 145 IQs :^)
Brayden Fisher
>Hypothesis testing
Levi Edwards
When I think about it..
All the tallest guys in my high-school were also the smartest, except blacks.
>tfw 5'8
Jason Lewis
What's your IQ?
Ian Gomez
It's certainly possible that tall people, being naturally more desirable, would only be mating with the most successful people. This could have created a selective breeding situation that leaves tall people with superior cognitive genes as well.
Michael Moore
So, what do we do about the manlet problem?
Kayden Fisher
mfw the ethnic groups with the highest IQs are all east asian countries with average heights below 5'9"
Luis Flores
>TIL OP wants his white daughter to have a black husband, so long as he was on a basketball team at some point
Cameron Howard
Uh, no retard. I'm not risking him being one of the outliers of tall people with low IQ. I will always make real-world accomplishments a strict requirement. However, that will statistically give higher odds of it being a tall person.
Nicholas Young
SAT scores shit on height as a predictor. Even forehead length is better.
Next.
Michael Wright
>these disgusting ggplot defaults
Blake Campbell
>was tall for my age at 9, but turned out to be a manlet
feels good
Jayden Reed
And within that group we could expect to find the taller specimens to have a higher IQ than the group average.
Pleb.
Parker Watson
t. brainlet lanklet or insecure manlet
Christian Cruz
...
Jordan Jackson
read through plenty of these papers >less of a correlation with asian populations whew
white manlets are fucked, though
William Morris
>tfw 69 inches
Joseph Clark
But on a global scale the taller the higher IQ
Juan Harris
correlation =/=causalization T. manlet
Isaac Bell
insecure brainlet thread
Evan Price
Everything that really matters is the enlongation of your facial features.
Nathan Collins
I don't see the correlation in any of those graphs
Kayden Fisher
>It's called an outlier. But you want to discriminate a whole group because of averages. When outliers exist.
Carson Barnes
Those regressions look pathetic
William Hernandez
Apparently it doesn't apply to black people.
Brayden Perry
wow its almost as if the brain develops just like the body!
Julian Rivera
I don't want to discriminate. It's just something to think about. There's a difference between short and tall people and it should be acknowledged.
Ryder Ramirez
Black people are shorter on average.
Leo Barnes
good genes come in good packages
Gavin Garcia
That's why the NBA is dominated by white, blonde, blue-eyed nordic übermensch.
Blake Gonzalez
>on average You don't think there's a selection bias?
Luke Lewis
>outliers justifies we tall people have to maintain all the other good for nothings >using an individualistic answer to a poblational question you aren't very tall are you?
Andrew Martinez
>correlation means causation top fucking kek both height and IQ are correlated with nutrition aka access to high quality fooda and parents' wealth, there's your answer retard had you provided the entire population with the same access to food and nutrition, there would be no correlation between height and IQ
now get back to fagdit
Dominic Ward
>wealth Try again manlet. The studies control for socioeconomics.
John James
no, only the first one did waiting for more
Christopher Rivera
Not every study has to control for everything, that would be impossible. You make a consensus based on a body of work to combine their individual findings. Socioeconomics has been ruled out as a confounder. It plays a factor of course, but the trend persists outside of it.
Hunter Miller
this conduct a study that adjusts for nutrition and there you go, no correlation
Hunter Reed
>tfw dad is 6'8 and mom is 6' but you still end up 6'1
Christopher Wright
Dutch twin study: >Thus, these results show that the association between height and IQ should not be directly regarded as evidence for childhood living conditions affecting IQ
Alexander Hall
A selection bias towards basketball skill, which is directly determined by height.
James Jackson
Being black is also a factor toward basketball skill. So it's only the tall blacks that make it in the NBA.
Austin Sanchez
>Charts are a fucking mess >there's correlation there, trust us Yeah, correlation, barely
Isaiah Rivera
welcome to socialSCIENCE!!!
Lincoln Garcia
Garbage plots. Delete this.
Evan Rodriguez
>drawing a line of best fit through that data lol
Anyway both IQ and height are affected by nutrition. Obviously there would be a correlation.
Dominic Cooper
How the fuck do you control for nutrition you moron
Owen Davis
Typical manlets. Just glancing at a single image and drawing conclusions. How about looking at the studies? That's how you do real science, and the science says there are strong correlations genetically.
Carter Green
