I submitted these questions at the feedback page but wanted to post them here as well: How do scores compare for people who completed more or less of the test modules? Is the percentile score in comparison to other EA Forum/LessWrong test takers or a larger cohort?
I’m also curious: what are those 40 claims you’re trying to reproduce?
Hi! The scores are relative to a sample from the U.S. population (not people on LessWrong or the EA Forum). I suspect that the population we used may have a slightly higher-than-average IQ but I’d be surprised if it was a lot higher than average.
We haven’t yet released the 40 claims we’re seeing if we can replicate, but they include many of the major claims in the intelligence literature.
