Statistics
- The Savanna-IQ Interaction Hypothesis states “The finding of an association between progressively increasing risk of bipolar disorder and high arithmetic intellectual performance is rather surprising” Tiihonen wrote, explaining the arithmetic test requires not only mathematical skill but rapid information-processing for the purpose of successfully completing the timed exam. High scorers with such rapid processing power may also share a tendency to experience mania, a state of high focus and psycho motor activity.
