The gender discrepancies are slight. A matter of a couple of points one way or the other.
The real gaps are between races and socio-economic classes, and I've never "moved the goalposts"; I've said so from the beginning.
I'm going to bed soon, but I must have missed it. Please let me know which post specified wealthy white males. By my account it was computer literate, then college graduates, then white middle class, now wealthy white males.
this retarded person belongs in a confined institution but it is Not just Texas...This activity must be checked............today it does not seem a big problem but it is. It is not possible to fix quickly and maybe not at all , it is a contagious disease, passed down bad behavior.
Your argument was that an IQ of 100 was "average".
Mine was that it's more 'median" than "average", seeing as how the extremely vast majority of middle-class and affluent whites fall well above it and the vast majority of poor folks and people of color fall below it.
Well above, in the first case, and well below, in the second.
The actual number 100 is not really very representative of anyone's IQ, therefore hardly "average".
Just a median.
I further claimed that most of us here probably have IQs of around 115, since we're all computer literate: a criteria I chose because it's all I know for sure about all of us, one that indicates to me that we're 1. literate, 2. at least semi-educated, 3. not living in an alley behind a dumpster, since we can all afford or otherwise access computers.

Every source I have been able to find describes the average IQ as 100. You continue to make assertions you can't support. Your own graph doesn't show whites with iq'a well above 100, merely around 105. And this data is suspect in any event.
Few people in this forum have demonstrated an iq above average. I do not think it requires more than an average IQ to procure a computer, plug it in and type.
Nope, I didn't state it as fact. I said it was what I wanted on my tombstone. but you do get an A for effort.
My IQ is much higher.
I really don't think you're impressing anyone, if that's your intent.
Are you going to address the information in the links I've posted?
This non-debate is rapidly ceasing to interest me, and it's drifted far off-topic, besides.
It will no doubt be erased by little elves while we sleep.
