There are approximately 902 U.S. billionaires in 2025 according to Forbes.

Having a one in a million IQ of +171 (normalized Z score of +4.75), would mean that the number of +171 math IQs in America would number MUCH less than 902, since there aren't even half a billion Americans JFL
 
On the same note, since the consensus of looksmaxers is that 7 PSL (ie, PSL Gods) is one in a million looks facially, that means that American PSL Gods are also MUCH rarer than U.S. Billionaires

Have any IQ tests been taken or are these scores from percentile equivalences? I know many people who substitute various things people assume correlate heavily with IQ to say that their IQ is that but IQ measured by an IQ test isn’t near it. This is especially true for academic things where you can study.

Well, it is quite similar to the pre-1995 SAT, where practice/studying showed minimal score improvement + virtually all of the best and brightest in the country took the test for University

The pre-1995 SAT had a g loading of 0.7 and only a handful of people scored perfect annually
 
A higher IQ is not a guarantee of success

Nothing surprising about it. Have you ever seen someone who looks like Hernan Drago IRL? No? Well thats plausible

There is when it comes to processing abstract concepts, problem solving speed, and predicting median income for an IQ cohort


View attachment 1436221View attachment 1436222View attachment 1436223

The relationship between IQ and median income is almost perfectly linear even up to the 150s


View attachment 1436219View attachment 1436220

Cognitive Z score is correlated to economic Z score (Median wealth and median IQ of each socioeconomic class correlate)

The median centibillionaire (151 IQ) is smarter than the median multi-billionaire (131 IQ) et cetera

170 IQ Bill Gates had a higher wealth z-score at the height of the Dot-Com Bubble in the late 1990s than 140 IQ midwit Elon Musk in the 2020s

Ok men I don't have the IQ to read all this

But most "successful"people are not of higher IQ but somewhat average or above average


The vash majority of high IQ people' are living lame pathetic lives and yes bill cuck jew gaytrs is a pathetic person



You hate elon for being a mid wit yet he has done more for the human race then a 1000 high IQ people' combined

Have you ever heard of bivariate normal distribution?

Bivariate 1


Since the correlation between lifetime earnings and IQ is not perfect, there will always be those who over perform or underperform their predicted achievement


Have you ever heard of Bayes' theorem?

Bayes Theorem


where A and B are events and P(B)≠0.

  • P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the probability of event A occurring given that B is true. It is also called the posterior probability of A given B.
  • P(B|A) is also a conditional probability: the probability of event B occurring given that A is true. It can also be interpreted as the likelihood of A given a fixed B because P(B|A)=L(A|B).
  • P(A) and P(B) are the probabilities of observing A and B respectively without any given conditions; they are known as the prior probability and marginal probability.
Since there are a LOT more 130-150 IQ midwits than 170 IQ geniuses, the proportion of people who achieve a certain measure of success will mostly be numerous midwits even if, on average, those with 170 IQ will have a higher chance of achieving it

Please don't insult me either

I may not be a super genius like my father, but I'm still not stupid
