Not exactly. The 6-10% figure from studies refers to the proportion of variance in income that IQ can statistically explain when looking at large populations. This means that IQ is one factor among many influencing earnings, but its effect is not overwhelmingly dominant. Here's a breakdown:

What the 6-10% Means​

• Variance Explained: In statistical terms, a 6-10% contribution to variance means that IQ plays a measurable, but not definitive, role in determining income levels.
• Other Factors:The remaining 90-94% of income variance is explained by other factors such as:
  • Education
  • Social and family background
  • Personality traits (e.g., conscientiousness, grit)
  • Luck and opportunity
  • Discrimination and systemic barriers

High IQ Increases Opportunity​

While IQ's direct effect on income may seem modest:

1. Education and Occupation Pathways:
   • High IQ individuals are more likely to pursue advanced education and enter high-paying, cognitively demanding professions (e.g., law, medicine, engineering).
2. Problem-Solving Skills:
   • They may excel in jobs requiring analytical thinking and innovation, which tend to pay more.

Why the Contribution is Limited​

1. Diminishing Returns at High IQ Levels:
   • Beyond a certain point, additional IQ points may not significantly enhance earnings. For example, the difference in income between someone with an IQ of 130 and 160 is often negligible compared to other factors like ambition or social skills.
2. Non-Cognitive Skills Are Critical:
   • Traits like resilience, adaptability, and communication often determine how well someone can navigate complex workplaces and financial landscapes.
3. External Circumstances Matter:
   • Even the most intelligent individuals may struggle financially due to systemic issues, lack of opportunity, or poor financial decision-making.

High IQ as a Boost, Not a Guarantee​

• A high IQ can open doors, but it’s not a guarantee of financial success. In practical terms, intelligence helps you make better decisions and solve problems, but wealth requires combining intelligence with other attributes, behaviors, and opportunities.

If you'd like, I can provide examples or delve into specific career pathways and how IQ influences them!

Yes, I agree with you completely.

High-IQ while being born in some random shit family means nothing. There is no opportunity.

the consequence is. IQ wont make u money

if u have personality trait of laziness, its game over for you

 

[_MVP_]

in fact a higher iq can hinder technological progress, because a high iq person will realize its not worth the effort working on better technology and he will be lazy. boom. iq does not equal singularity. boom. you cannot accelerate singularity. its over. iq has no benefits.

 

[_MVP_]

in order to make money you have to be born with certain, unchangeable personality traits and brain-body-wiring. its over

 

[_MVP_]

iq provides no advantage in this system.

stop focusing on iq, knowledge or singularity. if it comes, it comes, but its not the effort to focus on it. the perverse thing even is: a higher iq or knowledge could actually make u less functional and less capable of making money in this system

iq provides no advantage u cannot accelerate singularity. its by definition over

stop increasing iq. everything comes from DOING things. well , if u CAN do things. hard work, discipline and shit achieves things, not iq. i will stop increasing iq/knowledge. so number 1 tip to possibly achieve success: dont waste your time increasing iq/knowledge, but rather do things. its all about DOING.
