Estimating Indian immigrant 2nd gen IQ from med school data
For whites, IQ = 100, SD = 15
1 in 200 gets into Med school
IQ to get into med school = 138
Assume same IQ bar for Indian students
1 in 23 gets into Med school
IQ is 12 points more than white = 100 + 12 = 112
For chinese , 1 in 60 gets into med school
IQ is 6 points more than white = 106
All these are 2nd generation, regression to mean
--
Amazingly the med school data, matches, the Princeton Reverse Digit Span IQ test for Immigrant children
