This is true most of the time

Can you elaborate? Like when do you think it is and isn't true more specifically. Just curious

It becomes less relevant for income (less predictive) although it is still a linear relationship. But it's probably still relevant for rare meritocratic contests and prizes like Nobel

There are few people with an IQ > 140. If we assume a SD of 15, mean 100, that's only .0.0038 of the population,.or .38%. That's 4 out of 1000 people.

Blacks and Hispanics, at 85 and 92, basically have 0 chance of being this intelligent, assuming same SD. This is also parsimonious with the fact blacks have won 0 prizes that weren't Literature or Peace (i.e., "fake" prizes)
