“…attainment, one of the most well-studied behavioral traits, has shown to correlate with many other outcomes including height, parenting, antisocial behavior (i.e., criminality), and healthy aging, to name a few (Kong et al. 2018 ; Wertz et al. 2018, 2019 ; Wu et al. 2020; Schork et al. 2022).”

“Papageorge & Thom (2020) and Bryson et al. (2025) establish that the Ed PGI predicts labour-market outcomes, although Schork et al. (2022) shows that these associations may partly reflect parental genetic channels rather than causal effects of an individual’s own genes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
