sat score predicts iq

i'm finally catching up on my journal reading, so here's a tidbit:


Based on the regression corrected for nonlinearity with the addition of the squared SAT component, we developed the following equation to predict IQ from SAT scores:
XIQ=(.126*SAT)+(-4.71E-5*SAT2)+40.063

The Standard error of prediction was 5.94.


this equation, from their data, seems to predict iq scores fairly accurately.
