I’ve long thought it a pity that wisdom wasn’t mush more highly prized and that someone didn’t formulate a WQ to complement IQ.
A functional WQ scoring system would savage our so called best and brightest. The indoctrinated in particular would come off as lacking wisdom.
IQ was prized because it played and still plays to the egos of those who were easily educated no matter if they were fools or wise.
Wisdom is valuable, but so is IQ.
