The intelligence that one is lucky to be born with, does not necessarily lead to a successful career or life. How many high IQ people have ever attained the success of professional athletes?

There are no truer words than this, IQ has nothing to do with success in the real world.

How many, or what percent, of high IQ people have ever reached the success of the “elite” business people with their millions or billions? How many or what percentage of the high IQ people have ever attained high leadership positions in government? BTW, does high intelligence lead to corruption, where they think they can get away with anything?

Except for the gimmies, I would venture to say that most of the people in power in Washington are on the right side of the normal curve. at least in the first Standard Deviation.

Do I think that High I Qu leads to corruption? Absolutely and these chapters discuss the moral responsibility that High IQ people have to the rest of the population and to the culture.

Okay.

What about my last question?

BTW, why does it seem that the subject of high IQ comes up so often on FR?
