The lede is currently even more technical than [[wikipedia:Intelligence quotient]].
Good additions & corrections, Alt, but I was just realizing that the lede is currently even more technical than [[wikipedia:Intelligence quotient]].


The few readers who know the terms "measuring the same factor", "measurement invariance", "factor analysis" likely mostly already know what IQ and g is, so the lede seems informative very few people. One can explain q and IQ in simple terms (test results vs a measure of ability to perform well on ''any'' IQ test and any real-world cognitive task).

The explanation for the norming is confusing because the percentile is a different quantity than the score on a 100/15 normal distribution (even though one can convert from one to the other). [[User:Bibipi|Bibipi]] ([[User talk:Bibipi|talk]]) 07:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
