Significant indicator of "success" or a misrepresented measurement with little value?

 

[_Mike_]

A guide, nothing more, nothing less.

A person can have all the talent in the world yet fail to apply themselves. A person with little talent or education behind them can achieve success with persistence.

Bill Gates 160
Warren Buffet 155
Elon Musk 160+??

George W Bush 80.

You can be a dumbo and still succeed. It will take meticulous planning, and a father who used to be the President and before that ran the CIA.

Stay in school kids. Be a thinker not a stinker.

One of those is clearly a plant, so I wouldn't apply that here..

I had my IQ tested when I was in my early 20s as pet of a job interview process. Was 211

Its probably degraded over time tho to 11

Spelling wasn't a job requirement?

 

[twotooto]

I think he's saying his pet had an IQ of 211.

 

[BEaston]

you'd need to define "success" first

 

[exe ex machina]

Spelling wasn't a job requirement?

Typing one handed + autocorrect. OBVIOUSLY.

You can be well educated and still be stupid!
A prime example is some of the top elites calling for a communist/Marxist society!
The left like to attempt to be associated with being smart but most are out right stupid!

Just because they can write an essay it doesn’t mean they are all that bright

Many of the successful businessmen of the world are school drop outs like Richard Branson

It's an indicator in that it identifies correlations with specific valuable outcomes but there's so many other factors it fails to consider like emotional intelligence, moral capacity, intellectual curiosity etc. Things like the ability to perceive, empathise and manage emotions is important for a leader - which in today's society is the benchmark and platform for success.

Significant indicator of "success" or a misrepresented measurement with little value?

Heavily distorted towards favoring the people fitting the social placing of the writers of the test.

 

[iluvparis]

On aggregate I'm sure it would have a good correlation with career success etc. Obviously going to be huge outliers in both directions.

Fun test except when the website demands payment to email you your score. Bugger that !

 

[Toump Ass]

Has anyone got a link to a free, good IQ test? I want to know precisely how brilliant I am.

Significant indicator of "success" or a misrepresented measurement with little value?

Both.

A leader such as Trump?

I dont place too much stock in IQ tests
Unless my IQ score is higher than someone else
Then it means a lot

 

[Richard Pryor]

If you're close to off the charts by being high or low it's probably going to impact your life, for us plebs in the middle I don't think being 115 is going to mean you're at a disadvantage to someone with a 120.

Never taken a real one though, I assume they're very different to the facebook rubbish.

 

[TimmeT]

The legitimate test ie: one accepted for a number of things is just as stupid and rubbish as those Facebook ones.

One of the questions is define epic.. The question is why choose epic and not another word such as moron for example.

There is a lot of subjectivity in elements of it and this can ultimately distort the overall result.

 

[Seeds]

IQ is a measure of intelligence not commerical success. Why would anyone think the two are the same?

 

[Ok Boomer]

Low IQ people should absolutely be prevented from participating in certain activities or jobs. It should be regularly tested throughout life, and the government should have a public IQ list with every Australian citizen on it. There should be compensation given to high IQ individuals who have to engage with low IQ individuals. If I were to attend a football match in Geelong for example, I should be separated from all of the local scum, and compensated if one of them enters the high IQ area.

Baby Boomers with low IQ's should just be deported.

Visas should be subject to rigorous IQ testing.

You have a serious problem.

I thought intelligence was directly related to you post to like ratio on Big Footy.
