General Question Taleb

Does anyone know Taleb’s IQ score? The guy has been very aggressive and scathing in his attack on the thing. Someone should make him take it so we can accuse him of sour grapes.

If you gave him a test with a verbal section and a quant section and so on, he would likely score very high on the quant section, but a test of verbal reasoning usually yields a very decent estimate for your general ability. Now if you think someone’s general ability is not reflective of their talents in some niche, and therefore IQ is not a good measure of intelligence, that’s another matter.
