Greetings new contributor. This is a comment in good faith: (1.) This point is discussed in every other answer. (2.) You are saying that Peterson should have said 91 instead of 83, which is rather pedantic because his point revolves around the 10th percintile (see Bob's answer). (3.) This community is for verifying notable claims, speculating on motivation is off-topic. (3b.) "a standard deviation of 13.1962. A lucky number in front and the decimals being Petersons birth year", I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

@Jordy Thanks for feedback. I do not understand point 1. (Isn't this the goal? I don't see anyone reading the army pamphlet citing this graphic). But you seem to misunderstand: 'Peterson should have used' no such number for IQ. And when talking about something different, like IQ, he should every other number but 83. That is the point with SD 13.1962: IQ scales for the same perc10 scale from real tests are like 69, 72, 81 (SD 24,16,15). 83 just does 'not correspond' to anything but the crooked number?
