Meh. I have seen so many people on the internet talking about their alledged level of intelligence and their high IQ, or whatever. I believe much of the concept of IQ has been used to demean people around the world and even sometimes used as an excuse or justification for racism to exist.
In my point of view, being intelligent indeed helps one to solve problems and get a job or to get good grades at school. But the purpose of life foes not have anything to do with IQ, it is about being happy.
Out there there must be thousands of people who are not considered to be as intelligent as someone working in Harvard, and yet within that bulk of people, there could be hundreds who live a more enjoyable existence than the worker of Harvard.

Instead of focusing on the queficient of intelligence, let us have a conversation on an idea for a queficient of happiness.  Tongue

I believe a high IQ is beneficial academically and outside of school (in real life).
It makes you stand out in a very smart way.
Most people with high IQs have more opportunities than others, have been able to fix up difficult taxes, and have found solutions.
But it doesn't really make one a better person. IQ works differently, academically, based on a career, or in other aspects of life. 
But it brings a relevant and outstanding performance to a person. 
Your ability to think fast and come up with a solution gives you an 85% guarantee in an interview, which may get you the job, because most companies are ready to hire you for your smartness.

what is the point of having high IQ?

it is believed that high IQ make you a better person.

it is also believed that high IQ get you more score in a test in school.

but what does it make you a person after leaving the school.

in real life, there is finited of everything resource, what does high IQ help the reality?

let me assume, when there is only 100 apple in the town, high IQ person would more likely get more of the apple, yup, high IQ help you get more apple from finited source of apple. thus make you a better breadwinner, high IQ make a better breadwinner than low IQ person.

finally:
is it economics topic? it is politics isn't it? Smiley
source, please?
why should I believe you?
go back to your base

let me know how do you think.
Your post is quite vague, and in many ways confusing.

There's zero evidence that high IQ would make you "better person", even though you don't even specify what you mean by that.
Having high IQ measures that people with high IQ people are good at performing IQ tests.
If it's Mensa test for example, it measures how you can detect patterns and sequences in these tests, which could indicate that you can most likely apply these skills to real life as well, and apply them to some skills if you have any.

Your 100 apple situation isn't a reliable indicator either, because it's usually people without high IQ are the ones that assume, that people with high IQ would always pursue for maximum profit. Poeple with high IQ aren't necessarily selfish or greedy. They can have good people skills and emphathy. Many high IQ people can choose to live moderately.

And speaking of that, there are many kinds of fields in intelligence. Many people that would perform well in tests that are measuring general cognitive abilities, are not doing so well with their lives. It can lead to lonely or unproductive life if you have other issues that you need help with, or don't have skills in other areas of intellect.



And here's some source that you asked for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences

Having high IQ basically means you can think and act way smarter than an average person out there which puts you at a serious advantage in the circular world when relating with people and when coming through real life shit. If you've worked with people that are smart and logical with thier thinking and responses to real work problems, it will make a lot difference why it's possible that people with high IQ will in most cases make it better than others in any chosen field they are into.

But In the real sense, high IQ is mostly birthed with and if you don't know how to make good use of it, you will only get noticed in conversation only and never really make any difference in the world. For your high IQ to really count in the world, you've got to train it and put in the effort to make it grow above what it's just capable of doing and by that statement I mean that you've got to put your thought and ideas into a particular field and engage yourself such that you can become an expert at what you're doing.

This connotes that having those or an IQ's enables you to handle the affairs of life more better than an ordinary person or a layman. Having IQ also position you to qualifies into working in a good company than others who are not knowledgeable enough to handle that position of work. So IQ helps during school and after school, you are being smarter and creatives than others who aren't making any efforts in times of life as well as general innovation just as Bitcoin was introduced and established to us by Satoshi Nakamoto.

Certain individuals are inherently more creative and capable of thinking outside the box, but this does not exclude others from learning to be more creative and inventive. In truth, everyone can improve their creativity by cultivating meditation, exposing themselves to new ideas and viewpoints, and finding ways to step outside of their comfort zone. It's also crucial to note that creativity doesn't necessarily have to mean coming up with wholly new ideas; it may simply mean finding new applications for existing ideas and technology. So, even if you don't get a flash of insight, you may still be inventive by working hard and trying out various ideas.

If you're mad about these people having a high IQ getting paid more, probably because they can do more and they have a better understanding of the complex stuff and they're the most likely group of people to invent or innovate something that would help progress mankind to new heights. I think that there's some justification there that they're paid more but that doesn't really mean that they've got the IQ doesn't automatically qualify them for a higher pay, they need to show up and do something and be a model employee that deserves the raise or whatever that may be. An increase in reward should be backed by merit or achievements in a particular organization, if that wasn't the case, wouldn't we see even more stupid managers and incompetent people in higher positions.

People with high IQs are completely different from everyone else despite their intellectual prowess, people with high IQs often exhibit humility. Having a high IQ at a young age increases the chances of living a long and healthy life. But it's not just about genetics. Our cognitive abilities are not fixed. Starting school early long learning and physical activity are the best to train the brain.

People with high IQ are different from other people and their intelligence is very sharp.  Which helps them to move ahead in every field in their real life.  What a normal person takes 10 minutes to understand, a high IQ person takes 2 minutes to understand.  This 8 minute interval comes and leads.  Just as people with high IQ perform well in school, they excel in every aspect of life.  But it's hard to say what a person with a high IQ is really like as a person.  Because intelligence can never make people good or bad.  Intelligence or IQ can improve life but does not make a person human.  Humanity is the blessing of God.

— IQ = Knowledge to solve problems.
— High IQ = more Knowledge to solve problems properly
— Low IQ = less Knowledge to solve problems properly


— Knowledge = Light to see
— High Knowledge = more Light to see
— Low knowledge = less Light to see


— Light = the right information that eliminates ignorance.
— The More the Light the better. The Less the Light the more the problems like disease, hunger, poverty (inability to take care of ones needs), confusion, etc




*How To obtain Light: Consume enough good or holy information/foods only, and trust them to guide/help you.

* How To dim or quench the Light: Consume bad information/foods and trust them to guide/help you

High IQ might be one of the most dangerous things that a person could have. Why? Often a high IQ causes a person's pride to grow. He thinks that he can do it himself, and loses out on what it takes to get it done... Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31
26Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Having a high IQ can obviously be beneficial. It is associated with better problem solving skills, faster learning & increased cognitive abilities. Intelligence alone doesn’t guarantee success or happiness. Emotional intelligence, social skills & other qualities are also important for a fulfilling life.

let me know how do you think.

Howard Gardner, the psychologist who founded the hypothesis of multiple intelligences, provides an intriguing take on this issue. Gardner believes that intelligence comes in many forms, not just one. So, even if someone has a high IQ, they may not possess the same amount related to social intelligence, innovative thinking, or emotional intelligence. This might imply that, while a person with a high IQ may perform well on examinations, they may not be as productive in other aspects of life. Gardner's the thesis proposes that a well-rounded individual is more likely to succeed in all aspects of life, not only those assessed by IQ testing. So, while a high IQ does not ensure success, it may nevertheless provide certain advantages.

All of these things can indeed be said to be true, because the field you write about refers to brain intelligence. And while people who have a high IQ, very intelligent thinking. So it is certain that in the world of education people who have a high IQ are always at the forefront.

It will definitely be very helpful

Because humans have a high IQ, I think that is a privilege given to certain people, and having a high IQ will definitely make it easier for someone to solve a problem or just like making a living. Because I believe people who have a high IQ tend to be more dominant and superior in terms of the world of work. But I also don't think that people who have a standard IQ are not superior, but usually people who think smart or have genius minds usually tend to always be someone who is more influential. Because most people who have a high IQ certainly have thoughts that are beyond the thinking of ordinary people, therefore even in the world of work people who have a high IQ are always placed in fairly high positions.

what is the point of having high IQ?

What's the point of going to school and securing a degree or leaning a skills, it gives you an advantage over the rest of the population that doesn't have a degree or skills. High IQ gives you an advantage in the society and that's the point of having it. You get better at problem solving when you have high IQ and people that solve problems are those that get rewarded with riches.

If you want to make more money then you should start solving people problem and that can be easily achieved if you have a very high IQ. High IQ means you're smarter and intelligent which are quality that gets your high earning job to have a comfortable life. Having a high IQ is very important and the richest individual excluding those that inherited their wealth all has high IQ. High IQ also helps on the teach industry as they you can combined your high level of solving problem with technology and you launch a company that can make you billions of dollars that can be used to solve more problem. High IQ mightn't make you a better person but it doesn't make you better at solving problem. When you're over intelligent you might even have an awful personality since you're more intelligent, you might feel superior to others around you.

Having a high IQ does have its advantages, like performing well in tests and potentially getting more opportunities. However, in real life, it's not just about intelligence. Other qualities like emotional intelligence, creativity, and hard work also play a crucial role in success. So, while a high IQ can give you an edge, it's not the sole determinant of your worth or potential. By the way, this isn't an economics or politics topic, just a conversation between you and everyone here.

I think IQ is not everything 😁. For example, if you want something but you think it's impossible because you don't have a high IQ. But, if you keep trying to get something, don't give up, and don't be lazy. I'm sure you can get it. And for people who have high IQ it is very easy to catch something, unique, and a great thinker. Not only at school, usually they also apply it in everyday life.

As a long term member of Mensa, I've met a wide range of high IQ people, and I would split them into two groups - introverts and extraverts. I can understand how this can happen, I had a privileged education, but I still found it dificult to find a peer group at school, and this led me to beone a hyper-extravert. I can succeed at almost everything I attempt until success is obvious, and then I get bored and move on. You can see this in many of the projects I have started in this forum. It is my belief that the best IQ for success is around 120. Smart enough to know what you are doing, and not too smart to get distracted by interesting inconsequentials. Thomas Edison once said that success is 10% inspiration, and 90% perspiration, and I think that is very true.

Having a high I.Q should best be used best for entrepreneurship or to create a personal legend. Using the advantage in trading crypto currency and stocks, forex and everything that involves algorithm and calculations is a good use too, but the reasons why we exit should first be met, and that is finding fulfilment.
More than just having a high I.Q is also to know when to take a cue, apply initiative and both be accountable and responsible to oneself first, then to others.
Besides this, what's the point of having a high I.Q?

There are endless benefits of having a high IQ and just saying it seem needless, in a world were the general IQ levels is at a constant decline it's a great thing to actually be able to still maintain a high IQ.

High IQ can
+ Help you get task done well and on time.
+ Help you have a better understanding of thing faster.
+ Create financial opportunity for yourself.
+ Be logical and discipline in your approach to things.

But it has a side effect and that you may not be able to interact properly with people of lower IQ, because of the distance IQ and you may be see as someone who feels perfect and you opinion may seem hateful
I wouldn't say endless but there must be a limitation for everything. I think IQ's can be inherited and once you have them, it can not decline anymore but you can only increase it by equipping your selves with more knowledge. The General IQ of the people might still be on the same level and as usual, there are lesser people who have a higher IQ. These people are also called as gifted. There are certain benefits of it.

The obvious one is you can adapt things faster but I don't think a high IQ person are also well disciplined because I think both things are different. Can't you see that there are so many smart (high IQ) people who turn out to be crazy? It's because they abuse their selves.

My best friend is a farmer and has officially been tested to have an IQ of 149!

High IQ is not a necessity but its important to have people who have a high rank,
Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton and maybe
Satoshi Nakamoto had all high IQ and look what they have contributed to our
lives but could they cook well, or create their own clothes or create beautiful
artworks? probably not.

Everyone has a talent high IQ or not and not everyone can do everything to a high
standard even if they know the theory.
that's why some have high IQ but low EQ. they have a myriad of extraordinary theories but always fail in practice because of zero skill in action. but many people have low IQ but high EQ, so they usually do more than theorize. it's just that sometimes their hard work is not rewarded more expensively. different from people who have high IQ levels. they do little, but when they act, their actions will always be appreciated because they are always useful for others. This is an example of the characters you mentioned.

what is the point of having high IQ?
A higher IQ means you use more of your brain power. Someone with a higher IQ will find it easier than the average person to understand new things faster and think more creatively than others. But in all this is all with the higher IQ refuses to engage his brain, and someone with a lower IQ work very hard to develop his own intelligence quotient, the person with the lower IQ that has worked hard can be smarter than the person with the higher IQ that has refused to use his brains to think.
always returned to the individual, because not everyone with a high IQ can get things done better than those with a lower IQ. agree with you friends, sometimes those who have advantages do not use them to the fullest so they don't get something to be desired but those who have ordinary things or limitations, are actually able to excel because they are assisted with tenacity and hard work to continue to be able to improve themselves at any time.
so those with lower IQs don't need to be discouraged because with hard work and high discipline they will also be able to match them.
