Like an actual general intelligence test or a cognitive ability test? Neither should be used in a performance context though so that’s wild. Cognitive ability testing should only be used for selection not for performance the fuck.

English (Native), French (B1-B2 depending on the day), and just started trying to learn Ukrainian

Yeah, it’s honestly a lot easier to read colloquial romance language writing than it is to listen to it. Here in Québec as an anglo québécois I always still struggle with my listening comprehension regardless of if its within my spoken or reading level, accents and speeds are always a pain. I know this is doubly bad for Spanish which can be spoken insanely fast.

That’s the French. My fiancée can do that too as a francophone

I have no idea got any of that from my comment, but when you want someone to be your enemy you’ll surely find one

You should really go outside or read something that isn’t political theory or econ as you really don’t have much of an understanding of how your fellow man actually functions. Insulting people who are trying to provide you with different perspectives on how you see an issue is not going to improve yourself or the working class movement. Lead with empathy, I wish you the best.

Please then provide a theoretical model backed by meta analytic evidence to show that this group somehow has a fundamentally different cognitive process for interacting with other groups then, I’ll wait

Yeah, as a research psychologist, I always cringe so hard hearing things like this. There isn’t something special about how white people from regions we lable as “the west” express bigotry. Literally, ever human is capable of creating ingroup outgroup differentiations as illustrated from social identity theory and those can be strongly or weakly oriented towars dominance (i.e. social dominance orientation). I’ve never seen meta analytic evidence showing any subset of the human population to be significantly more prone to social dominance. The thing that makes it so brown people are viewed negatively by “westerners” is the long history of racism pushed by the ruling class to justify atrocities for profit.

Don’t be campist people, work in solidarity with each other and support your fellow man.

Sensory issues

We analyze a 5-Mb genomic region on chromosome 6 previously found to be under positive selection in domestic dog breeds. Deletion of this region in humans is linked to Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem congenital disorder characterized by hypersocial behavior. We associate quantitative data on behavioral phenotypes symptomatic of WBS in humans with structural changes in the WBS locus in dogs. We find that hypersociability, a central feature of WBS, is also a core element of domestication that distinguishes dogs from wolves.

Always has been

Classic

Specifically its for answering behavioural interview questions which go “tell be about a time you did X and what happened as a result?”

My apologies, I didn’t mean to imply you never run RCTs, mostly that it’s rarer that other disciplines and most of what lay people know of your science comes from non RCT work. I’ll have to take a peak at that paper you linked as it looks interesting.

Your point on natural experiments is on point as they are dreams come true for many social scientists (thought sadly not always pleasant ones in recent times).

I also have to agree this post is pure rage bait. People dunk on social sciences all the time but would have their brains melt trying to learn Structural Equation Modeling and the concept of the Latent variable. My arguments with economists usually comes from my place as an IO psychologist who argues about labour and labour markets not if your science is real. It’s sad how many will look st economics as useless in the same breadth they venerate figures like Marx. People need more education not less.

And the outrage over Floyd was in the same city and erupted even more aggressively. The citizens are being more strategic and thoughtful in their dissent this time so it may be more learning than a difference in specific response. While race does change the narrative you’re very right that the visibility of the incident seems to be a major factor in the outrage and bridging of the action-intention gap.

Gary Stevenson is also an overconfident blow hard who thinks because he made money on the stock market he knows more than everyone. I’m a psychologist not an economist, I don’t like economics, but this is all still wildly off base from what actually happens in academia. Economist don’t run randomized control trial (RCT) style experiments. They use completely different techniques with different statistical methods to test assumptions. Are these as high quality for causal reasoning as a RCT study? No absolutely not. However I think the average person would be shocked at how much of every field of science does not confirm their studies to that gold standard and how difficult it is to match that exact specific scenario statistically.

That’s also a very good point and a problem even within scientific communities. This is partly tribalism, partly jargon, and partly structural. People identify with a discipline or method, dig in their heels, make new terms for old ideas, dont read work outside of their bubble, and everyone is left confused. I agree the scientific method isn’t strict which is a double edged sword. We can’t come to perfect truth but only make good faith efforts to approch the mysteries of the universe.

Glad to see its been so good for you, if you have any recommend resources that would be nice

Of is this about Destiny? I didn’t know his real name

I’ve never done neural feedback myself so I’ll have to look into it. Medication is only partially effective on me but doesn’t help with me improving my behaviours just reducing harmful ones. Probably even if I took meds as a kid it wouldn’t have been life changing, everyone is different in that way
