There was a .453 correlation between this number and actual IQ; that is, 45% of the variance in how likely you thought you were to have a higher-than-average IQ could be explained by your actual IQ.

Correlation is r and percent of variance explained is r^2, so I think that should be 21% rather than 45%. There's also a typo where you say ".5 level" and presumably mean .05.

Thanks. Edited out.

The "I'm listing the ones that are significant at the <.5 level" typo is still there.
