<<I actually believe in educating everyone as much as possible, so I don't know why you're so strident about this. Because I think intelligence is a curve and you can't do much about that? I'm not the one to argue with about that one, I think.>> I am so strident because we are not educating people to their ability. Do you think the blood and crips and other gang bangers are educated to their abiity and they are just stupid? I have a BS degree in experimental psychology from San Jose State. So yes, I do have some knowledge of the Stanford Binet, normal curve, statistics, reliability, predictability and probability. I know the standard deviation for the Stanford Binet is 14 and that one standard deviation above the mean includes 84% fo the population, just as one standard deviation below the mean involves 84% of the population with IQ's 86 and above. They estimated John Dos Passos IQ at 90! en.wikipedia.org
