IIRC there's also a general correlation between higher IQ and success in terms of school/career.

I've never taken a professional IQ test, as I'm pretty sure you have to pay for that. But I've taken online ones. Based on those questions, I believe it's something that you can improve on if you do a lot of math, logic puzzles, programming etc. I don't understand the idea that IQ is static if it's based on these logic puzzle type questions.
Because the people motivated to want to do well in life are more motivated to do well on an IQ test. Most likely as a badge of honor. They found that you can literally manipulate how well somebody tests by offering something that motivates them to try harder like money.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
