7 Big Problems with IQ Tests (That No One Talks About)
Jul 26, 202532 minS0
<p>We take a critical look at some of the biggest problems with IQ testing: from statistical circularity and cultural bias, to inflated correlations and ethical misuse. Drawing on emerging research, historical controversies, and new theoretical frameworks, we explore 7 major critiques of intelligence measurement today (and a 'BONUS' at the end).💡 Along the way, we cover:• Why many IQ tests may be measuring what they define • The rise of network models and alternatives to Spearman’s g • The shrinking correlations between IQ and life outcomes • How culture, history, and social context shape IQ scores • Why intelligence isn’t fixed and what this means f...
How We Measure Intelligence (And How We Get It Wrong)
Jul 23, 202531 minS0
<p>In this episode, we take a measured look at the history, science, and ongoing debate surrounding IQ testing. From the early days of phrenology and Galton’s eugenic ideas to the development of modern psychometric models like the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, we trace how intelligence has been defined, measured, and contested over time. No pseudoscientific hyperbole;just some balanced, nuanced, and expert-led science. 📚 Chapters:00:00 – Introduction: What is IQ, really?01:20 – The Origins of Intelligence Measurement (and Dark History)04:00 – The First True IQ Test (and Formula)04:40 – The Problems with the 'IQ Formula'05:50 – Norm-Referenced and Standardized IQ Testing 07:20 – Spearman’s g, the 'g factor', and the 'P...
Does IQ Really Matter? What the Science Actually Says
Jun 16, 202523 minS0
<p>Does intelligence even matter? And what role does IQ play in this? Can we use IQ scores to predict important life outcomes for people and populations? Ever wondered why intelligence matters—and why it’s both powerful and controversial? This podcast tackles these tricky questions by exploring what intelligence means for education, career success, social relationships, health, and even who we choose as partners. From academic debates to real-world impacts, I unpack the evidence, controversies, and why intelligence isn’t the whole story.This is Part 2 in our series on 'Human Intelligence' originally video recorded and uploaded to YouTube here...
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
