Very interesting blog and article.

I think that it can be safely assumed that lawyers typically possess the highest verbal IQs. The logical concusion to be drawn is that populating a nation with lawyers will lead to higher GDP. vbg. But this point suggests the fallacy in Prodigy's logic.

Verbal intelligence develops as a result of the development of laws and other structures within which to play the economic game. The development of state-backed certainty in economic transactions leads to higher GDP, not some wacko notion about verbal IQ. Verbal IQ then develops as these structures are used over time and become refined and sophisticated.

I think Prodigy put the horse before the cart and that his notion that Northern Asians are limited by an inheritance of visual/spatial intelligence is bunk.
