...…Galton’s (1869) predictions, asmost studies found that IQ was inversely related to fertility, suggesting directional genetic selection for lower intelligence (Lynn, 2011) – a trend that persists into the present (Lynn and van Court, 2004; Meisenberg, 2010; Reeve et al., 2013; Kanazawa, 2014)....

...Retherford and Sewell (1988, 1989), Meisenberg (2010; Meisenberg and Kaul, 2010), Reeve et al. (2013), and Chen et al. (2013) all show either that both intelligence and education have independent effects on fertility net of each other or that education entirely mediates the effect of intelligence…...

...For example, the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (Retherford and Sewell, 1988, 1989) measures intelligence with only one IQ test (Henmon–Nelson Test), the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (Meisenberg, 2010; Meisenberg and Kaul, 2010; Neiss et al., 2002) uses four subtests of the Armed Forces Qualification Test (arithmetic, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, and mathematics knowledge), and the Middle-Aged Danish Twin survey (Rodgers et al., 2008) uses five (fluency, digit-span forward, digit-span backward, digit symbol substitution, and delayed recall)....

(2013), education net of childhood general intelligence is not significantly associated with lifetime parenthood either for…...
