Loading ...According to a new study, people with above average intelligence generally have no greater wealth than those of average intelligence.
The study was using a person’s IQ as the measuring stick for intelligence, which to my knowledge, still has some glaring flaws. Everybody has different definitions of intelligencts and “smarts”, so a person’s IQ can obviously only cover one of those definitions - regardless of how accurate or relevant that definition may be.
I think most would agree that being able to communicate and work well with others are at the top of the list of qualities conducive to obtaining a higher paying job. You could be a mathematical genius, but it’ll be much harder to get a high paying job if you don’t also have the communication skills to go along with the math.
File that under book smarts / street smarts
