[quote=Anonymous]PP, with one more thought: When you get out into the knowledge economy, most people specialize, and they end up working in their area of strength. The difference between someone with a 130 IQ and deep expertise in a field, and someone with a 170 IQ and similar expertise, isn't necessarily really obvious, and other workplace factors smooth out achievement. For instance the person with the 130 IQ might be great at exchanging ideas with other people, and their work might be really enhanced by collaboration. The person with the 170 IQ might have a low tolerance for boredom that makes them go off-task and get less accomplished, or spreads their efforts onto a bunch of interesting projects that don't go as far as one really focused effort. Or whatever. In some ways, IQ makes far more of a difference in children, where the asynchronous development creates a ton of headaches for child-rearing, than it does in adults, where no one really cares how smart you are.[/quote]
