[quote=Anonymous]Research scientist here. Not quite. If you want to make a lasting contribution, I agree that most people will achieve that through persistence and dedication, not necessarily a stratospheric IQ. Some people achieve wonders with their emotional intelligence, as well as commitment. Think Mother Teresa. But when it comes to Nobel-level scientific discoveries and math proofs, you actually do need a very high IQ, not to mention some amount of luck. The experiment designs that lead to ground-breaking discoveries aren't going to get dreamed up by themselves, you know. And some of these people have the emotional intelligence of mushrooms. You can't have everything. The ones most suited to a normal life are the normal people. At the edges, it gets dicey :-) [/quote]
