ex1223: IQ Score and Income
Description
This is a subset of 2,584 individuals from the 1979 National Longitudinal Study
of Youth (NLSY79) survey who were re-interviewed in 2006, who had paying jobs
in 2005, and who had complete values for the variables listed below. A goal is
to see whether intelligence (as measured by the ASVAB intelligence test score,
AFQT, and its Components, Word, Parag, Math, and Arith) is a better predictor
of 2005 income than education and socioeconomic status.source
