Aren't you too obsessed with IQ for a guy who posts on an incel forum? The guys you talk about mogging each other are millionaires enjoying their lives while you rot here. Maybe IQ is useless if you don't apply it. All this discussion is pointless mental masturbation.
There is when it comes to processing abstract concepts, problem solving speed, and predicting median income for an IQ cohort
Evidence continues to debunk the popular idea that IQ is largely irrelevant to success above 120, and my less successful readers are going absolutely ballistic. The reason this idea is so popular (…

The relationship between IQ and median income is almost perfectly linear even up to the 150s
In this article I summarize all I have learned to date about seven economic classes in the United States: The poorest 0.27%, the poorest 10.5%, the median American, the richest 4% , the richest 0.2…

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
For one brief moment in the late 1990s, Microsoft stock reached ridiculously high levels, and the media reported that Bill Gates was worth $100 billion USD making him the World’s first centib…

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

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?

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
