Pictured: Outlier (155 IQ, 1650 testosterone ng/dl) carries control (110 IQ, 800 testosterone ng/dl).

Submitted as comment to "What must his life be like?" in [email protected], and felt that it justified a whole meme to tie it together.

In a single group of US school children from 1994, that are now adults

In all other populations I have seen, higher IQ is positively correlated with testosterone

Either my testosterone is high or low but doesn’t the chart above say it covers 16k men and is from 2018?
(I know it also says a longitudinal study, but I wouldn’t consider the inception to be the year the study is from.)

Unknown, but likely he's the human form of Larry the Lobster with a PhD hanging on his wall.
