Weighted mean of correlations: 0.143 (N = 146)
Estimated g factor loading among females: 0.38
Ranking in above table is based on the unrounded correlations. All available data is present in this table, no tests are left out except for those with less than 4 score pairs. All known pairs are used, including possible floor/ceiling scores or outliers.
Observation: While the correlation within females is larger as often, this is not significant.
These are estimated g factor loadings, but against homogeneous tests (containing only particular item types) as opposed to non-compound heterogeneous tests. Although tending to surprise the lay person, it is not uncommon for tests to have high loadings on item types they do not actually contain themselves. Such loadings reflect the empirical fact that most tests for mental abilities measure primarily g, regardless of their contents; that the major part of test score variance is caused by g, and only a minor part by factors germane to particular item types. It is of key importance to understand that this is a fact of nature, a natural phenomenon, and not something that was built into the tests by the test constructors.

Observation: There is an exceedingly significant moderate positive correlation of Father's educational level with Mother's educational level, reflecting assortative mating, one presumes. Virtually the same correlation is seen below for both the female and the male candidates separately, which makes sense given that the assortative mating took place before the candidate (child) was conceived, and can therefore not have been affected by the sex of the candidate. The fact that this correlation is so alike within-sex confirms that it is genuine, and also confirms that the statistic was reported correctly on the whole. The positive correlation with birth year implies that candidates with later birth years have mothers with higher educational levels.

The goal of estimated g factor loadings for restricted ranges is to verify the hypothesis that g becomes less important, accounts for a smaller proportion of the variance, at higher I.Q. levels. The mere fact of restricting the range like this also depresses the g loading compared to computing it over the test's full range, so it would be normal for these values to be lower than the test's full-range g loading.

Remark: These are not significant.
After seeing the statistics of candidate's, mother's, and father's educational levels, the following general observations can be made:
These reports are based exclusively on statistics of high-range intelligence tests. Over the full range of I.Q. and the general population, the correlations of I.Q. scores with the indicators of educational level are known to be much higher than reported here. Likely, this difference has to do with phenomena like attenuation due to restriction of range, and Spearman's "law of diminishing returns" regarding g.
