The S factor in the British Isles: A reanalysis of Lynn (1979)
Year: 2015
Type: preprint
Abstract: I reanalyze data reported by Richard Lynn in a 1979 paper concerning IQ and socioeconomic variables in 12 regions of the United Kingdom as well as Ireland. I find a substantial S factor across regions (66% of variance with MinRes extraction). I produce a new best estimate of the G scores of regions. The correlation of this with the S scores is .79. The MCV with reversal correlation is .47.
