The one gigathad changes nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) I think there's a clear correlation there, but the axes are reversed: testosterone can't be the dependent variable of IQ score. Reversing the axes makes the gradient look incredibly steep, but that's only because of the obviously incorrect anomaly. r=0.435 is very much not a strong correlation, but it's not zero either, especially with a sample size this enormous. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago no, IQ can actually drive testosterone levels! it's a strange feedback loop where social pleasure can cause testosterone production. permalink fedilink source parent
