I see that this article has just been split off from the article Intelligence, for which there is considerable rationale. As discussed in the last few months through an RFC on the Race and intelligence article talk page (the talk page of an article on a topic related to the topic of this article), there are a number of current sources available to editors that meet the Wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources in medicine, which is generally the correct source guideline to apply to articles on human intelligence and IQ testing. (That's because IQ tests are literally used in medical diagnosis, and also used in high-stakes forensic contexts such as finding diminished criminal responsibility in criminal trials, and consequential decisions such as school placement for children.) It's important to note that several of the articles on the broad topic of human intelligence are under active ArbCom sanctions because of past edit-warring. I hope it will be helpful to mention sources previously agreed to in a nonexhaustive list of good sources for the other article that also fit this newly created article, along with a few other sources that come just with my personal recommendation until other editors comment here (as I encourage all of you to do).

Rather than free-associating every other term that has an associated Wikipedia article and mentioning that in the lede here, it might be better to look at some reliable sources and see what the mainstream consensus is about the related topics to the topic of human intelligence, and what the core characteristics of human intelligence are. Right now, the lead paragraph of this article doesn't really serve the reader as a guide to how intelligence is viewed by those who study it professionally. A good list of sources has already been mentioned in a previous section of this talk page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 00:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I see that this article still relies much too much on primary research articles, rather than on secondary sources as defined by the Wikipedia reliable sources content guideline. It would be a very good idea to review the article for statements that are not supported by other authors than the researchers who first announced the statements in primary research journal articles. Until a finding is replicated, it's not really encyclopedia material. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 00:27, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Content about the subject above was added here. This is a recent, primary source and is "hot news". This is the kind of thing where we should definitely wait for reviews that validate the study, per WP:MEDREV. As to why, see for example this (Note the edit date, and the date the paper came out) followed by this - and we now have a whole article on the shebangle, here. We have no deadline here, and we don't do cutting edge here. -- Jytdog (talk) 04:01, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Some studies have shown a direct link between an increased birth weight and an increased intelligence quotient.[1][2][3]
According to Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, intelligence is inversely linked with sexual frequency (people with higher levels of education often report lower numbers of sexual partners).[4] In parallel, self-reported intelligence has been linked to unconventional sexual practices and frequent sexual activity, thoughts and fantasies.[5]
In May 2013, a study showed that the ability to ignore distractions correlates with intelligence.[6]
In September 2014, a study on finding genetic variants associated with cognitive performance found no specific gene directly responsible for intelligence. Rather it's the sum of many indirect genes and of the environment.[7]
In May 2017, a large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of intelligence in 78,308 individuals identified 336 genome-wide significant genetic variants, located in 18 genomic loci. Moreover, this study implicated the role of 52 genes linked to intelligence which were mostly involved in cell development and were highly expressed in brain tissue.[8]
References
In my studies, men and women who described themselves as smart, intelligent, logical and imaginative reported thinking about sex more often, fantasizing about sex, and having sex more often than people who did not see themselves as smart or intellectual. They also usually had a wider scope of sexual experiences, including experience with role-playing and other Kinky activities.

The genes correlates entry's source is also pretty bad though not perhaps as bad as those. It is also indirect. naturalnumber (talk) 08:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

The "Relevance of IQ tests" section talks about why IQ might not be relevant. There should be information in this section on the relevancy of IQ, per the section's title. The information that's in the section now is accurate and good, but the section as a whole could use a little expansion so the reader can understand what the relevance is.

Intelligence is far to protean of a concept to be summarized by IQ. 2601:882:101:1A0:2140:AF45:347E:BDFF (talk) 18:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

The section discussing the validity (specifically the construct validity) of Intelligence as measured by IQ tests, cites two main sources to support the claim that the construct validity is 'considered dubious'. However, one source (i.e., Borsboom et al., 2004), although uses intelligence tests as an example (as well as personality measures) does not make the claim that the article in wikipedia makes. This paper by Borsboom et al., is a critique of the concept of construct validity and especially how it is understood and measured (validation) in the social sciences, psychology and medicine more broadly. Thus, this article generally criticises the theory that is used to determine the construct validity of any psychological construct there is, and not just intelligence tests. If this argument (regardless of how convincing it might be or has some merit) is used for intelligence tests, then almost all psychometric research in psychology and any construct that exists in psychology should be seriously doubted, and all articles in wikipedia should use the same source to support specific claims on the 'disputed' construct validity of psychological constructs. In short, the paper attacks how we understand construct validity and uses IQ tests as an example, but does not directly 'dispute' the validity of only intelligence (but it disputes the construct validity of almost all other psychological and social science constructs).
For the second source (the book by Mackintosh), I have not been able to find the full text yet, but the sections of the book I have read, also do not clearly 'dispute' the validity of intelligence tests (surely some questions are raised, and I perhaps should find the full text before commenting on it). So in essence two sources are cited to support a very specific claim, but do not appear to support the specific claim (i.e., is the construct validity of IQ tests decent, good or poor?).
Does anyone have additional sources which are much more specific than these? I have also not had the opportunity to read the book by Weiten, but based on this whole article I am quite suspicious whether the claim made is actually supported by the sources provided here. 79.167.49.186 (talk) 10:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
