Default Re: Why Geniuses Don\'t Make Money

higher IQ's tend to make more money up to a point.
TAke your average IQ of the Harvard graduating class.
Average IQ say 130.
Among those if you compare IQ's to income say 10 years later you will find little correlation between the two, and a Strong correlation between AQ and income.
Adversity Quotent (Paul Stoltz) The ability to deal with adversity in the workplace.

web page 115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
>200 - "Unmeasurable genius"


As for geniuses, they tend to gravitat to genius jobs, which don't make nearly as much money as top CEO type jobs.
Conductors, professors, researchers, artists.

what income would you rather have top law professor or top lawer?? Conductor of the London Philharmonic Symphony or
Snoop Dog?? hahahah
