If you regress rated IQ on measured IQ, do you get an intercept of zero and a slope of 1 (which would indicate that they are unbiased but error-prone). <br /><br />It would also be cool to see a plot of rated vs actual along with a 45-degree line, so that you could see the bias and also the lower spread for higher IQ people if that conjecture is right.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-74393662765475901752011-03-30T09:52:15.523-07:002011-03-30T09:52:15.523-07:00Smarter people in general have better self-knowled...Smarter people in general have better self-knowledge.THnoreply@blogger.com
