Jordan Peterson lectures on the biology of personality traits, focusing on openness, creativity, and the measurement and significance of IQ.
In this lecture, I talk about Big Five trait openness to experience, which is the dimension composed of an amalgam of creativity and intelligence. I also discuss IQ: how it is measured, what it means, how powerfully it predicts long-term life success, as well as the highly skewed Pareto distribution of creative production. Here's a good representation of a Pareto distribution: youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM --- SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL --- Direct Support: jordanbpeterson.com/donate Merchandise: teespring.com/stores/jordanbpeterson --- BOOKS --- 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life/ Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning/ --- LINKS --- Website: jordanbpeterson.com/ 12 Rules for Life Tour: jordanbpeterson.com/events/ Blog: jordanbpeterson.com/blog/ Podcast: jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/ Reading List: jordanbpeterson.com/great-books/ Twitter: twitter.com/jordanbpeterson Instagram: instagram.com/jordan.b.peterson/ Facebook: facebook.com/drjordanpeterson --- PRODUCTS --- Personality Course: jordanbpeterson.com/personality Self Authoring Suite: selfauthoring.com/ Understand Myself personality test: understandmyself.com/ Merchandise: teespring.com/stores/jordanbpetersonWhy it's here

On “In Defense of Myers Briggs (2020)”
Let's hear it from a psychologist: "If you don’t buy IQ research, you might as well throw out all the rest of psychology." (Jordan Peterson) link to this video For anybody interested in personality research, I warmly recommend this lecture series, by the way. These are the basics, which psychology students learn at university.

On “University of Cambridge Cognitive Ability Test”
This is a talking point from an old university class lecture interpreting factor analytic data on personality and IQ 1. In practice, intelligence tests don’t depend on the specific questions asked. If you let a group of people generate their own items, pool them together, sample randomly, and then rank scores, the same individuals would tend to rise to the top. The high IQ people would cluster toward the top with a correlation of 0.9. This is because people with higher general cognitive ability perform better across virtually any cognitive task, a phenomenon first documented by Spearman (1904) and repeatedly confirmed in psychometrics research (e.g., Jensen 1998; Deary 2012). 1 link to this video

On “University of Cambridge Cognitive Ability Test”
If you dismiss IQ research, you might as well disregard all of psychology. The psychologists who developed intelligence tests were pioneers in using the statistical methods (e.g. factor analysis) that now underpin the entire field. IQ is defined more precisely than almost any other psychological construct. Discarding it leaves you with poorly defined concepts and no clear way to handle them. 1 1 link to this video
