>>13644851if you're talking about that article about excluding high iq people from intellectual fields where average IQ of academics is said to be 126 with a standard deviation of 6.3; it means that distribution of IQ of academica has an average at 126 and standard deviation of 6.3, it still uses the typical sd15 scale of iq where 130 is 2sd above the mean. It sort of means that the distribution is more concentrated, 96% of people have iq of 71-129 but 96% of academics have iq of 113-138, I think he even gives similar numbers later in the article.
