IQ is not correlated with wealth/income.

Lifefuel for everyone that thinks they don't have the IQ to get rich.

HighIQ makes it less likely that you will live in poverty (<37k USD/year). But it has 0 correlation with getting an income above 37k, as is evident from the graph above.

 

[IronMike]

37k might as well be poverty lol

 

[Deleted member 23286]

IQ is 80% genetics and 20% level of health in early childhood. A nigger with 85IQ will have it rise to about 100 with good education and medicine. A White child at 100IQ with poor health won't rise much beyond 110.
TL;DR
Don't be a nigger

utterly baseless scatter graph with unknown sample size or geographical location of the study

and yet if OP had some extra IQ points he would see that the graph shows quite clearly by a massive margin the concentration of lower IQs within the area of lower income and that whilst there are a lot less people with higher IQs, they Disproportionately make up the higher income areas based on their ratio.

Too dumb: Couldn't read: IQ does correlate with income/wealth but it is possible for a few dumbasses to slip through the cracks by for example: inheritance or nepotism, or moving into the mid tier+ brackets through unrelenting work ethic (lots of hours doing hard work)

Look at the bottom graph with the orange square added to remove poverty-tier incomes.

Conclusion: There's essentially no difference in income above poverty-tier between high and low intelligence.

High IQ is just a safeguard against poverty and nothing more. It's extremely over-rated and hardly relevant in the real world.

actually, I believe that only 10% of people have 120iq+, and there is a considerably smaller amount of people in the 100K+ zone that have a low iq, so I think there is a correlation just by this graph really

of course it has a minor correlation because getting rich is either:
1. all luck
2. some realization you’re lucky to make

The studies I've read showed it correlated massively but drops off at 120 IQ. Like for example average billionaire was 133
self made millionaire is 118 while average middle class person is 103 average person on welfare was 95 average homeless was 85 IQ. This clearly shows IQ does correlate a lot with money but its also not the end all be all and certainly more factors at play billionaires are super uncommon whereas 133+ just means being in the top 1%. If it were to match the levels of rarity it would be at least 150+ IQ.

This clearly shows a trend where it does matter but it also isn't everything. Basically if your stupid your fucked if your at least kind of smart you have as much odds of being rich as a lot of people

I literally said it did matter but that 120 IQ seems to be a ceiling where it becomes less effective at predicting success.

120 IQ is already a very high amount of intelligence, you can study almost any subject in university.

Looking at IQ distribution is a bad way to judge intelligence’s important because IQ has diminishing returns at the extreme end, a 160 IQ doesn’t mean you’re 20x+ smarter than someone with a 140 IQ.

 

[Deleted member 11126]

Yeah to be fair it is super high already. I didn't mean you need 120 just that after that point added IQ points won't inherently be helpful. 115 IQ is also like the average state college grad so pretty much anyone around smart enough to graduate at state university is smart enough to be a self made millionaire.

Yeah I would have to agree... Also other traits like work ethic sociability looks stress tolerance become more important. Once you are able to do semi abstract things it more becomes a question of if you can utilize it someone with 100 IQ I would assume will struggle a lot in any complex profession and will always be semi behind other people.

There is a lot of selection bias with that figure, the average self made millionaire is 62 years old and almost any middle class wage earner would be a millionaire if he invested in real estate and stocks 40 years ago.

It doesn’t tell the importance of intelligence today.

Its a little hard to say I would assume you need to be smarter since there are less easy ways to grind and make money. But my only point is complaining about IQ is stupid unless your 100 IQ.

No, it’s much harder today, the average ice cream man made $85k a year in 1945, more than an Engineer today once adjusted for inflation.

Yeah general cost of living is far higher then increases in wages. But I meant more like as a percent of wealth. Is being in the top 10% today harder then the top 10% 20 years ago

[EyebrowSupremacy]

im not sure what eyeballing a graph is going to tell you, im also pretty sure a linear model is not good here. What you'd probably want is some sort of enrichment analysis. Bin iqs in rolling windows of like 0.25-0.5 sd's or something and ask if any of the windows are over enriched/represented in higher earning brackets this way you don't have to assume any model for wage vs iq

 

[Deleted member 17578]

pretty much everything you need to know

The fact that eyeballing a graph gives you 0 reason to believe the common myth that IQ=wealth/income is incredibly telling of how irrelevant/insignificant that statement/correlation is.

It depends though, if you ask if the mean income of ppl correlates with iq it looks like the effect size is negligible. But if you were to ask a different question like are high iq individuals over represented in high income brackets (say 150-200k, 200-250k ect...) it looks like high iq would be over represented

people still think we live in a meritocracy with colleges teaching nonsense, diversity departments and quota job descriptions like global wellness and people systems. every single sector is in free fall. iq mattered a lot in the past, now it's completely irrelevant. it's all about how nt you are, how well you can obey orders, be compliant, and swear allegiance to the current thing.

Above average IQ with high income


151 (kinda lost count)

Clearly it is correlated

With some simple maths we know that people with an IQ above average are 3.145833 times more likely to be high earners than those with an IQ below average.

3.145833:1 vs 1:1 clearly shows a significant correlation.
