"When Wechsler was developing his IQ test, he found that out of 105 tests assessing skills in solving maze-puzzles, involving the most heterogeneous populations throughout the world, 99 showed an incontrovertible male superiority.
(Wechsler resolved this type of problem by eliminating all those tests that resulted in findings of significant sex differences.)"
So the IQs of men and women were "equalized" by throwing out 94% of the test? How important is this? Worldwide, with rare exceptions, annual incomes increase an average of $2,000 for each one point increase in IQ, with Japanese men at the top (with an IQ greater than 110 and annual income greater than $110,200) and black women in Africa at the bottom (with an IQ less than 55 and annual income less than $200). The IQ gap between Asian men and Asian women when correlated with GRE scores is 19 points, when correlated with SAT math scores is 14 points, TIMSS physics scores is 17 points, PISA math scores at 15 years old is 10 points, ACT math scores is 19 points, IAEP math scores is 12 points, and NAEP 12th grade math scores is 10 points. The IQ gap between sexes for all other races is similar, and by comparison the IQ gap between the US (at 98) and Mexico (at 87) is only 11 points which represents an annual income gap of $22,000 ($4,870 in Mexico, $26,870 in the US)
"Psychiatrists and psychologists are likely to use the definition contained in the DSM-IV-TR, the manual used to make diagnostic judgments. Here mental retardation is defined as 1) an IQ of approximately 70 or below, 2) concurrent deficits or impairments in present adaptive functioning in two areas (communication, self-care, home-living, social/interpersonal skills, the use of community resources, self-direction, functional academic skills, work, leisure, health, and safety), 3) onset before age 18."
By this definition, HALF of African Blacks, and perhaps three quarters of American Blacks, are Retarded. (definition of mental retardation iq below 70, lowered from 85)
There are 5,940,000 female and 4,861,000 male students in our undergraduate schools, and if the math skills of these girls follows the pattern of the Howard Wainer study, then 2,678,940 girls have math skills equivalent to boys who flunk out of math, 1,799,820 have math skills equivalent to boys who get D's, and 1,455,300 have math skills equivalent to boys who get C's.
None of them have math skills which would qualify them to follow a career in STEMS, while more than half of the 5,940,000 boys who were rejected (or 2,970,000 of them) to make room for these girl students, WOULD have benefited from a career in STEMS.
Why would we as a society do this at a time when high tech careers are so valuable, and so profitable? It's like cutting our nose off to spite our face. If you ever wondered why we can't make our own shoes, much less our own semiconductors and electronics, and instead must go all the way to China to have them made for us, then now you know why.
Math tests simply present mathematical facts to students to measure how well they can solve problems, and cannot be designed to "discriminate against" women, Blacks, Hispanics, nor Asians (particularly Asian men who score higher than the so-called privileged White men). The fact that 51% of college boys can solve problems ( and thus get A's and B's in college math) which no girls can solve, not even those who get A's in college math, means just that--no American girl can solve problems that at least half of American boys have proven on SAT math tests that they CAN solve. All math problems are representative of how well a citizen can solve problems at school, at work, in science, in politics, and in life.
If all of the 5,940,000 boys who had been denied admission to make room for this many girls, had instead been accepted, we would now have 10,801,000 boys in college, and at least half of them, or 5,400,500 boys who CAN solve math problems, would be in our undergraduate schools where they CAN benefit from an undergraduate education.

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. For tech stocks, “the main thing is yields,” Essaye said. 'Wild West' Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations.
