"Most likely"? Hardly - one figure on a table. Take a look at the scatter plot data here:

http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/sat_vs_iq.JPG

Neither of those two plots that correlate SAT to IQ score equates 1200 to 129. The more favorable of the two has it at just over 120, the other at barely 110. You need to be more discerning about statistical reliability.
The relevant graph to this discussion is a. You will clearly see that
if you draw an intersect from the best fit line at 1200 SAT to the
ASVAB IQ score it just under the 130 mark. You will also see that
there is scatter both above and below the line.

Actually this data is confirmation of the data that you previously
posted which was based on the Otis and the MENSA study. The B graph
shows the SAT2 and 3 data which Bush did not take. The C graph shows
the correlation between IQ and the RAPM score which is an interesting
test but not widely used.

You're killing your argument.

No, you need to take both graphs, a) and c). In fact, as pointed out, the RAPM is believed to give a better correlation with true IQ, since it is less environment sensitive than the S-B or the W.

You cannot grab one piece of data you like, and ignore the ones you don't. If you want to use data to make a point, you need to use all of it.

Like the global warming issue? All of the data on the climate for the last 7 or 8 hundred thousand years, which is available, has to be included and used to estimate the contribution of man to the current global warming cycle.
