I searched my dad's name online and found a link to his Google scholar profile!!! The profile pic matches
He told me he had a few patents to his name, but I never expected this many!!!
He, to the best of my knowledge, has been cited more than the Sri Lankan Yasantha Rajakarunanayake whom Jeff Bezos called the "Smartest" guy in Princeton (Math IQ 161+???)!!!
This is despite quitting his lucrative research job prematurely in his late thirties while Yasantha is still working in academia to this day
If we assume the smartest 4 math students at an Ivy League Uni average math IQs above 161 as Pumpkinperson does, and we further assume that the most mathematically talented Sri Lankans average math IQs below 170 (no gold medals at the Math IMO from their country), then we can safely assume Yasantha has a lower math IQ than my father (near the top math scorer nationally on the Korean Suneung) with a math IQ of around 175 give or take
My father's math IQ > math IQ of smartest Princeton student in Jeff Bezos' year
Further proof g can be measured meaningfully beyond 4 sigma (160 IQ SD 15) on academic/scholastic tests like the Korean CSAT (Suneung) and the pre 1995 SAT
Too bad I turned out such a disappointment...
