I'd be surprised if there are any studies that show this.

Anecdotal evidence: me. Can reliably get high scores in IQ tests. Trained to pass IQ tests as a child. Regularly questions the validity of IQ in internet comments.

Sorry to break the rhetoric, but "Typical(Quality,Group)" is not countered by "i∉G ∧ P(i)"

Update: ...Now waiting for the sniper of the day to find the light and express itself. Edit: Oh, I see: you probably wanted me to write "i∉G ∧ Q(i)". But actually it works for any property P: the fact is, the i is not part of the group...
