What is the probability that developing a network of smart friends will increase your IQ? If developing a network of smart friends will increase your IQ, then how big is the likely boost in IQ score?] |
| | + | |
| | + | :'''Summary:''' "Research on peer effects supports Flynn's view that developing a network of smart friends is likely to increase IQ, with studies showing statistically significant positive associations between peers' intelligence and one's own cognitive growth... |
| | + | |
| | + | :The probability of such an IQ increase is high for individuals actively building these networks, as the association is robust and replicated in developmental psychology literature (with p-values < .05 in controlled models). However, the effect is not guaranteed for everyone—it depends on the intensity and duration of interactions, as well as the individual's openness to influence—and is stronger for crystallized intelligence (knowledge-based skills) than fluid intelligence (raw problem-solving). |
| | + | |
| | + | :If an increase occurs, the likely boost is modest: standardized effect sizes in peer studies range from 0.06 to 0.15 (small but meaningful), translating to roughly 1–3 IQ points over a few years of sustained exposure, comparable to the cognitive gains from an extra year of education. Flynn similarly describes boosts from stimulating social environments (e.g., diverse workplaces or intellectual groups) as "several points," without specifying exact figures but framing them as achievable through deliberate choices like joining discussion groups." |
