Size doesn't matter. It's how you use it.

Define “success”, and cherrypicking a one in a millionTimothy Dexter tier retard-that-got-lucky doesn’t invalidate the fact that most glue eaters won’t amount to much save a burden on the state or their family.

It's not a perfect measure of intelligence and it's not correlated 1-to-1 with success, but it is a meaningful metric that does broadly capture what it purports to and is correlated with positive life outcomes

>>511446585 (OP)
bad logic. You could also say:
> several of the children not chosen became NFL stars

Since the entire world population makes up 'those not selected' it's not a valid talking point what those outside of the group did

Makes sense. Just look at how successful jeets are. Both in fertility and wealth.

IQ is a rolling average and is constantly re-aligned so the peak of the bell-curve is always 100.
100 IQ a century ago, which was the average for white Americans, is equivalent to ~85-88 IQ today.
Coincidentally, that range is approximately the average IQ of present day black Americans.

Are your ancestors niggers, or are blacks getting more intelligent when growing up with better opportunities and living standards?

>if your IQ is high you might only become a successful doctor or lawyer

Keep in mind that it also advantages the young. IQ is basically: [intelligence age] / [actual age]. So, if someone learns all young they show a high IQ. But if they maintain that knowledge and learn nothing more, their IQ goes down (at least on paper) for every year they live

Well duh.
Anon. Do you think that highly intelligent people have to perform to your, or societies expectation? Do you think that they say
> "oh society defines this measure as success, therefore as a highly intelligent person I have to conform to that expectation"
Or, do they maybe say "Fuck you and what you consider success, I'm going to do what I want to".

>IQ is less impactful "than you think"
Well that's a loaded premise.
>None became unambiguous geniuses, most became successful professionals
Seems like it's a good indcator of success then, which is what it's usually called. The best indicator of success we have.

Wow what a coincidence...

People forget that an IQ test is a test, not actual knowledge.

>because low IQ niggers can make lots of money playing sportsball, IQ basically doesnt matter
This is typical jew lib logic. Theyre just too dumb to realize the implication.

IQ definitely matters.
Manipulative propaganda articles like this are published in order to convince people that the recent negative Flynn effect isn't something bad.

>>511447343
You don't understand anything about IQ tests, those tests do not measure knowledge.

>>511448383
probably due to low IQ

>>511446585 (OP)
Of course it doesn't. That's why leftists, even technically intelligent ones, are referred to as "retards". They have no measurable common sense, or reasoning capabilities.

>>511446585 (OP)
So they didn't become media attention whores

IQ isn't a measure of knowledge/learning. For it to go down you'd have to be doing drugs, eating like shit, under chronic stress, not doing any kind of challenging mental exercise etc., like almost attempting to atrophy your brain. Similarly, just doing a PhD isn't going to increase IQ. Look at some nigger dissertations.

IQ is pseudo science
