I think it means something on average. I'm guessing most physicists etc have higher than average IQ.
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.

That's very questionable. Most people aren't offered any sort of reward for their IQ results, yet they largely correlate with something like good grades or high SAT scores, where the reward incentive is obvious. So if it were simply a matter of incentive then everyone would essentially have equal incentive to do well on the SATs. But that's not what happens.
There funny part is most people agree that a sub 80 IQ means almost certainly stunted Intelligence and that 140+ means almost certainly gifted. It's the range in between, where most of us fall, that we cast doubt upon. Maybe as a defense mechanism. My thing is... If your IQ is 100 and they offer you 1000 bucks to get a 140, it ain't gonna happen. |

I don't think IQ means nothing, I think it isn't nearly as important as people make it out to be. So you're jumping to the conclusion that somebody couldn't get a 140 if offered $1,000 (not saying they could) but you don't have any valid reason to believe it. That study showed that the higher the reward correlated with better results. Who knows?

Also, you are sorta missing my point. The people who are getting good SAT scores etc are the same people getting high IQ scores, for the most part. So who's to say that if you give them an added financial advantage, their scores won't rise as well? IQ is by definition measured against other people taking the same test. So if you can raise everyone's IQ via incentive that would reset the scores (because the average score is by definition 100) and we would be back to square 1. See: the Flynn effect. I do think effort does play a role, not only in IQ scores but in general Intelligence. But it's not an easy relationship to untangle. |

That's an assumption. There are obvious incentives for high SAT scores, for example. If you take the SAts and don't care how well you score, you're pretty much a subpar intelligence mouth breather that deserves to work at Taco Bell. Otherwise why are you taking the test? The entire point is to get a high score.
So what makes you so sure that high IQ individuals can't be incentivized but the mouth breathers can? Your article doesn't establish that at all. |
