What's your mtDNA haplogroup, MBTI, and Performance IQ/perceptual reasoning index scores?

I had been thinking that haplogroups UK, X, A, and D would have the highest visuospatial/inductive reasoning ability and would be more common among NTs and Ps and the vast majority of NTPs in the world being haplogroup cluster UK. Haplogroup cluster JT would be the lowest and common among FJ types; 80-99% of those in the world with mtDNA hg J or T being xxFJs.

The vast majority of UK and X populations underperform on performance IQ, and are more verbal shifted. I would say CZ, particularly Z, but also M, C and F. But especially Z. However I do not believe MTDNA will correlate much with visuospatial ability. It is more likely that verbal ability will have some link to MTDNA but I honestly doubt it. Women are relatively good at verbal reasoning but when it comes to mental rotation of objects they tend to get angry and spaz out because they just can't do it. There has been a lot of effort in recent years to try and connect intelligence to MTDNA (such as the failed EST00038 hypothesis), IMO motivated by feminist rage against the Y-chromosome machine.

In general, women have visualspatial ability equal to or better than men; women may be more represented at the high end. Men typically actually have more factual knowledge though women are probably more verbally fluid overall.

Haplogroup H67 MBTI INFP .Have not had IQ officially tested, but do significantly better on verbal as opposed to non verbal questions. Online scores have been from 56-92 re spatial reasoning with an average of about 74.


rs363050(G;G)
Magnitude: 0.1
Frequency: 24.8%
Repute:Bad
References:3
The (G;G) genotype averages 2.84 PIQ points lower than (A;A) genotype and averages 2.8 PIQ points lower than (A;G) genotype


I think the male >visuospatial and the female > verbal is being increasingly discredited ,or at least the differences are not as great as once assumed.
