Also one small unreplicated shit study doesn't mean anything. The US Employment Services conducted a comprehensive General Aptitude Test Battery on thousands of people of various occupations and found math people average 132 with an 11 point standard deviation, source: Manual for the USES General Aptitude Test Battery: Development. That's authoritative data. And it agrees with countless independent analyses performed on data from the official Volume and Performance Information reports released by the ETS on the Graduate Record Examination examinee population coupled with what is known about the IQs of college graduates.

We already know the average student at elite universities, at least in America, is in excess of 135 IQ from millions of normative data samples gathered during the 80s and 90s on college-bound students in the US. The average *math* student at those institutions is hovering near 140.

130 IQ is only 1 in 44 people. That's one person in every/every other high school class. Nothing special whatsoever. The average math PhD student gets a B in their math coursework and was no math superstar as an undergrad. Given the data, 140 IQ is 1 in every 3 math PhD students and corresponds to the student who barely makes it into the A grade category. It really is a generous cutoff
