That goes back to the fact that IQ tests really just measure who's more motivated to succeed more than intelligence but you don't like that statistic.
Outside of disabilities, which don't always mean you're dumb, I think intelligence is way too static of a concept to really make this kind of statement.
In my personal experience the average dish washer has no less or more cognitive ability than more successful people we're just less educated.

no, IQ tests correlate not only with what is known as general intelligence but also with SAT scores, college performance, and career prospects.
No where was it implied that having a lower IQ means you will never be rich. It's a statistical average thing. Given the same circumstances otherwise, having a higher IQ will help you succeed on average. |
