Is treating "data" as plural rather than singular correlated with difference between high and very high IQs in your experience? :-)
(I wonder whether I'm evidence one way or another here. I'm somewhere around 150, I think, and I used to use an awful lot of parens and have forced myself not to because I think not doing so is better style. But I'm more concerned with writing style than many other people I know who are about as clever as I am.)
((Counter-signalling is a special case of signalling. It isn't necessarily (failed) just because I don't like it.))

In my experience that seems to correlate a lot more with conscientiousness and caring about writing style after screening off intelligence. (Also: fuck!—I hate when I forget to treat "data" as plural.)
Same here, at least when it comes to writing for a truly general audience or for myself.
