>>7613090theres very little correlation between IQ and wealth or success in the real world. the correlation that is there is much more likely to be down to the fact that IQ is in a test format, and being good at tests makes you more likely to be wealthy.
think about it, when was the last time the limiting factor for any kind of task was actually your brains ability to process the information, and not just a lack of knowledge?
lets take an example. say you're doing one of those team building camp things and they've got you on that exercise where you have to build a raft out of barrels rope and logs. You have one kid with a really high IQ and one kid with a really low IQ, they both have to build the raft. Now if this was properly controlled, maybe the kid with the higher IQ would succeed where the other one would fail, but in reality the kid with the low IQ might have done the task before or been taught how to do it, when that becomes a possibility, like in the real world, then IQ becomes irrelevant.
but that would go against the /pol/ contrarian hivemind so obviously its wrong
