I made it a long way through life....a long way....not knowing (or caring actually) what my IQ was/is.
I do not recall anybody ever asking what it was through all my schooling and throughout my corporate career.
I was and remain a believer the cream always rises to the top and have found over the years that IQ/number of degrees are no substitute for experience and an individuals drive.
Yes, for some, there is an advantage.....for some.
It is not as though the calculation for an IQ is an exact science........from Google:
mental age ÷ Physical age × 100 = IQ. No matter what the child's chronological age, if the mental age is the same as the chronological age, then the IQ will equal 100.
Today there are different so called "intelligence testing".
My problem with the concerns of today are the new attitudes whereby there are no failures....the lowering/massaging of measurements to make more folks equal.....does that include IQ calculations as well????
