I heard height and intelligence are relevant, and I also heard some researches have proven there are some height genes that can determine intelligences or some intelligence genes that can determine intelligences therefore tall guys have more intelligences than short guys.
I googled 'height and intelligence' and I can't see other results than the ones saying they are just relevant, not cause-and-effect.
If this post is offensive I am sorry. I am just asking question, not to put down any short guy deliberately since I am a short guy.
I found the research that may be the one that I am referring to above:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3617178/
But srsly, I don't give any credibility on this kind of IQ tests like the wide range thinggy or else. I don't think any IQ tests that are not done right after birth and 100% detailed(namely can 100% examine the brain functions and have 100% precisions of examining the brain working processes) can speak volumes(even twins can have different life experiences, educations, etc.)

I know but the instances you are talking about can only refute the standpoint 'Short men are def stupid' which is not considered as reasonable idea in any researches about height and intelligence.
I heard of a research done in Sweden or other European countries having proven that some of height genes can determine intelligences(or some of intelligence genes can determine height).
Also I am really skeptical of the volumes that 'IQ tests' can speak.
What's more idiotic is some tall guys are feeling proud of themselves bc of this kind of researches, I don't know why, I think they are just proven 'slightly above the average IQ', and I don't think short guys can never compensate for that difference even if height and intelligence is cause-and-effect, not to mention IQ is not only determined by height.
I think some tall guys are also feeling insecure about themselves LOL. Tbh I am kinda making fun of them at this point.
Quote from: AimHigh on May 26, 2022, 10:25:27 AMIMHO IQ is only part of the puzzle of success, work ethic is another huge factor...
I don't place many emphasises on IQ cuz I know IQ is genetic since it is the presentation of human brain functions and genes form brains but how to evaluate IQ? I think before really serious IQ tests come out all of genetic researchs about IQ are problematic and it's better not to give credibility on them. We don't even work out any test that is 100% detailed and precise.

Yeah also it is not true that the more nutritions you have the taller you will end up, namely good nutritions do not equal being tall.
I saw the research just on this LL forum I can remember which stated that some height genes that can determine intelligence(or the opposite) but I can't find the original post.
Quote from: Sambollio on May 26, 2022, 06:59:38 PMI’ve seen at least a couple studies that show correlation. My best guess would be this is mainly due to an overlap of good nutrition affecting both. Getting good nutrition is going to make you more intelligent and it will also help you grow taller.
Yeah all of researches are all about 'correlation' not 'causation'. So I don't know if the OP misinterpretted that research or else, I can't find any researches that proved the casuation.
Quote from: wants2growtaller on May 28, 2022, 03:21:28 AMHeight has everything to do with LOOKISM. Whehter or not someone is physically attractive. Its a shallow aspect of society. And society IS very shallow. Society treats people by physical appearance.
I heard researches have found 140 genes of 800 height genes can also influence intelligence?
but the problem is, let's name the genes that can influence intelligence as X, and it does not indicate that the taller you are, the more X genes you have
Quote from: wants2growtaller on May 30, 2022, 08:44:28 AMThis reminds me of scientific racism. A bunch of really Racist supremacists tried to use pseudo science to justify the subjugation of other races. But it failed.
You mean science community also contains 'discriminatory scientists'? I also heard some discriminatory scientists will stack the deck to make their researches convincing in regard of black people/women are inferior in intelligence, mortality, etc. But I have yet to look into it very much.
But if so then I think I am so naive to give all of my credibilities onto any scientific research. I was all the time thinking scientists were very really that 'scientific'.
Quote from: ilovescience on May 26, 2022, 02:30:59 PMI don't think height has to do with intelligence. They are different things.
A lot of successful business men are not tall.
Son the Chair of SoftBank, an example.
Yeah, statements like 'short people are more stupid than tall people' are definitely 'stupid'. Not to mention they don't know about statistics and genetics, we can also cite the opposite cases in reality to refute this kind of bs.
Quote from: wants2growtaller on June 02, 2022, 04:46:56 AMHeightism is an appearance problem. Unfortunately imo our world is very shallow.
Yeah, I gotta say although i don't know much about biology or whatnot, there were also studies stating how being taller by random inches affects health but instead they were all the time ignored(I don't feel happy over how much being taller by inches increase risks of diseases either because lifespan is a multifactored just like IQ).
Quote from: Thehighest on June 02, 2022, 07:41:02 PMWhich was your score at Mensa Dk computarized test? I got 119
You should also check the 'g factor correlation' and 'how much environmental factors are influencing on the test' of the IQ tests you did.
I know IQ is genetic but also environmental factored(aka 'non-genetic factored'), otherwise the score is not that meaningful.
I can only do IQ tests online because I don't want to pay for them. And I got high scores on all of 'official' and 'non-official' tests and I don't know if those scores can contribute to counting my general intelligence, but it seems my IQ is at least not low in light of official test score eitherway. I don't think the claim 'short people are stupid' is not 'stupid'.
I suggest to take a look at 'Height and Intelligence' wikipedia. This time wiki is doing magnificant jobs in this regard. All in all height and intelligence are correlated but so slightly that you can't make any assumptions thereof.
