Piffer's Freewas
Tegan is my girlfriend. I attached her genome earlier in the thread.

Another idea with the height data, is to redo the analysis with many different numbers of SNPS, at least: 1:15. We want to know how sampling affects the results. If sampling is not found to be a problem for the height data with e.g. 10 SNPs where we have 700 SNPs now, then that is evidence that relying on 10 SNPs for g/edu. att. will not give spurious results either, thus countering the sampling error objection.


Genomes still to run:

All the people on there are statisticians or geneticists or attorneys so they should have 120+ IQs.
They are 23andMe genomes so it should be easy for you to run them.

Attorney mean IQ is around 120, so around half of them well be below. If they are from the US and are blacks, then IQs may be much lower due to affirmative action or black colleges.

I'm not familiar with any IQ data for statisticians and geneticists.

Only one of them is an attorney (Daniel Vorhaus, and he's not black). All the others are geneticists, bioinformaticians or statistical geneticists (average IQ around 130). You can see their profiles here: http://genomesunzipped.org/members
There is also a dentist (Ilaria Fisher)!! lol
Don't know what the average IQ of a dentist is...115?
Admin
Dentist is a mostly female field, no? Female fields are lower g. I looked around a bit but didn't find an estimate for that field. It's too small to find a good sample. Maybe if you can find average SAT scores for dentist schools in the US, you can convert those to g.
So, is Hsu involved in the Freewas? Or is the other project also about finding IQ SNPs? I am just asking since he is listed on your IGG page.

No he's not involved in the Freewas. The Freewas collects genomes without using money.

He's involved in my other prokect to find IQ SNPs. I launched a campaign to crowdfund it here:

http://www.igg.me/at/IntelligentDNA

Of course eventually these two projects will converge.

I suggest we release my script under a GPL3 license to let others test it, modify it and use it. While I was away something came up at work which means I won't have time for this (except the occasional support of my script).

Is it in python or R?

Can you post it here before releasing it? I want to run it on all the genomes I've collected so far. Jeff Hsu can help me if I encounter problems. You know I am applying for a PhD by publication and I want to publish some pre-print on this before November.
Snakemake, which is a Python General Purpose Language. It is not going to be easy to install, use or modify without some bioinformatics support. That I open-source it isn't going to make anyone else publish a pre-print on it, you have established priority. I won't give it away without open-sourcing it, which is the only way to give me the copyright on the implementation.

I am a bit puzzled that you included this in your PhD application since I specifically said that I would not work towards any deadlines. I won't be able to provide much support until March when I have paternity leave. I do not even have the time to make it available before Christmas, I have gotten too much to do.

It is also strange that you included this in your PhD application since it doesn't really seem to work. It was a clever idea that probably did not work.

Ok fine open-source it. But I don't agree with your pessimistic tone. We still don't know if it will work or not. And I didn't ask you to work with me on a pre-print, just sharing the code with me and then I'd run the genomes on my own. But if you want to go open-source first, do it as long as you also include my name. And no I haven't included it in my PhD application. I just included the pre-print.
Admin
I can translate the code to R, so I can work on it too, but it will be faster if Piffer learns Python+R himself. I am supposed to write my bachelor's thesis this semester, so I don't have that much time. (The topic is orthography reform with a focus on Danish spellings, a topic I published a book on in 2010 before I became interested in differential psych).

But yes, it may or may not work, but we need to collect more data before we can be sure.

My ancestry:I was born in 1966 in New York.My father is from Greece, born in 1930 in a town on the border with Turkey. His parents came from Constantinople; beyond that, I don't know. Various ancestry estimates indicate that my father's family is primarily of "Sclaveni" background - Slavs who moved into the Greek empire during the Middle Ages.
My mother was born in 1938 in Colombia. Her father was Colombian, her mother Mexican. Family lore is that they are all purely Spanish in ancestry, but the genes tell a slightly different story - my maternal line great-great grandmother (grandmother's grandmother) was American Indian (from Mexico).

IQ: I have consistently scored in the 99th percentile on a wide variety of standardized tests: SAT, GRE, ASVAB, Iowa Tests. I scored 149 on an IQ test that I took when I was young. I estimate my IQ to be about three standard deviations above the mean.
Ethnicity: I am a White American. One of grandparents was of Bavarian ancestry, another of Irish (both north and south), another of western German ancestry, and a fourth whose ancestry is half Scottish/one quarter Spanish/one quarter colonial American (English and German).

Based on my standardized test scores my estimated IQ is equivalent to your cutoff. My composite ACT score was 35/36, and my composite SAT score was 1410/1600. I didn't study for either exam, so I think both scores are a fairly accurate estimate of my non-inflated IQ (of about 138). I have three college degrees, work as a mechanical engineer and would describe my ancestry as colonial white American from Southern Appalachia (German, English, Scots-Irish). My upbringing could be described as "impoverished", so whatever intelligence I exhibit would almost certainly be correlated with my genetic endowment.
