I'd be cautious about placing much weight on Kanazawa's work without looking into it. Previously, his methodologies have been criticized.

Yeah. I'm no genius, and I'm pretty much all of those things on that list.

Plus his book isn't peer reviewed.
Title: Intelligence and Virginity

Last December I passed a paper along to Razib showing that high-school age adolescents with higher IQs and extremely low IQs were less likely to have had first intercourse than those with average to below average intelligence. (i.e. for males with IQs under 70, 63.3% were still virgins, for those with IQs between 70-90 only 50.2% were virgin, 58.6% were virgins with IQs between 90-110, and 70.3% with IQs over 110 were virgins)

In fact, a more detailed study from 2000 is devoted strictly to this topic, and finds the same thing: Smart Teens Don't Have Sex (or Kiss Much Either).

That a terrible graph.

Many of those subjects are directly related with each other.
Like Neuroscience and Biology, or Art History and History, yet have vastly differently percentages.

In short, it means absolutely nothing.

The whole study is just plain weird.

Anyone with an IQ under 70 is likely to be in care, and not part of any ethical study into sexual mores.

Poor effort Tiwa..

People with low intelligences will always be convinced with a picture

It is the lowest common denominator

And why Transformers 3 made more than $1,200,000,000

In short, it means absolutely everything

An IQ test is like measuring the performance of an engine by how much oil it has.

I disagree, a more apt description would be measuring engine performance by BHP alone, with no reference to Torque, capacity, Rev range etc.

No, I totally did not see what you did there.

Due to my lower IQ, I generally miss things that are obvious to the average person.
