Chris Perridas: H. P. Lovecraft & His Legacy: A Barlow Story in a rare fanzine

Ruf, PhDEveryone knows that the reason we put children in school by age for their instruction is that there are centuries of excellent research that proves this is the most effective way for children to learn, right? Whether or not you approve of the concept of IQs or IQ testing, the research shows that IQ results correlate with all kinds of real-life outcomes. The average IQ in the US is 100 and regular standardized tests that most people take in school (or when they enter the military) all start as low as around 50 IQ and as high as about 150 IQ. Yes, there are some other kinds of tests that have different scales, but that's not what I'm talking about now.The average IQ difference between people who choose to marry each other is 12 points. There are more average people than there are very low or very high IQ people.American school classrooms are set up by age. The typical IQ range in such a classroom is 70 to 80 IQ points, but we are generally comfortable with and drawn to people who are within about 12 points of us.
