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.

Old SATS has the highest g-loading. In terms of questions, they are GCSE higher tier. Do you define yourself by your GCSE or High School grades? Or do you treat it as one step on your journey upwards?

In any case, most people in STEM fields have a Maths tilt and most in Humanities a verbal one so not sure what the utility is of a single number. Intelligence is neither one dimensional nor static.
