IQ tends to collect them all in fact.
There is a theory of an underlying factor, often referred to as “G”.

Occupational skills or talents also depend on other aspects of personality, such as conscientiousness. It’s possible to have a high IQ and still be too incapable of putting in the work to succeed.

In my career however I have found, subjectively, that the smart people are usually quite good in all the other areas they need to succeed.

Try to be less angry to strangers on the internet, its unbecoming.

Some of us never supported Ukraine. After seeing the homo video Zelinsky made, Putin looked like the good guy.

128 IQ here.

You aren't an American citizen. Stay out of our foreign policy debates.

It is after all a matter of FOREIGN affairs.

Of which, being a foreigner, I am far better informed than you are, being as you are rather unaccustomed to matters outside your village.

Unless of course you are one of those fellows in the cubicles in that tower near St. Petersburg. And in that case you may also be rather ill informed, but in other ways.

Thje problem is not IQ. It’s “common sense.” Many if not most high IQ individuals are self-destructive.

Sure they do. The corporate owned and government controlled media would never lie to us.

Ukraine’s incessant begging is doubtless becoming counterproductive.

The graft is off the charts, they’re the poster child for Xiden and the Commucrats, and their bots on FR are causing folks to tune them out - myself among them.

>>The only people supporting Ukraine are the double digit IQ crowd and grifters.<<

You're so wrong about that. When the "political class" and elite media support them, it should cause conservatives to really think twice. World-wide adoration of a European political figure Zelensky is another issue which should cause reflection.
