Height, IQ, and Success in Life
I was looking for IQ, height, and income data. The PSID has height and weight and income, and the data is here. The Children of the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (CNLSY) has test scores, but the kids are just up to teenage years now. Their parents, the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) have scores and incomes. Professor David Armor of George Mason tells me that “The original NLSY sample was used for norming the military ASVAB test in 1980, and then starting in 1986 they began following children of the female sample.”
I wonder if IQ at age 5 is a better, or independent, predictor of income, compared to IQ are age 16.
Also, are height and IQ correlated? How about height and criminality, etc.?
