Why didn’t IQ tests always make sense to Thomas Sowell? Sowell has pointed out that intelligence tests can measure certain cognitive abilities, but they don’t capture everything that matters in life. Knowledge, experience, discipline, judgment and the environment someone grows up in can all influence what they accomplish. Being...

Consider the number of people with degrees from universities and then the lack of common sense so many seem to project.. one is regurgitated information and the other requires critical thinking in the ASSESSMENT AND COMPREHENSION of that information. Big difference between them.

Entrepreneurs and CEOs are typically not ultra high IQ. They're just good at what they do. Elon is pretty sharp, but I bet he's got lots of people under him that have a higher IQ. They couldn't do what he does though.

While excelling in specific cognitive skills on an IQ test is impressive, it doesn't necessarily mean you're equally talented across all areas of intelligence.🤓🧠

Yeah.. nice try. IQ test and language comprehension tests in your _native_ language are not exactly the the same but... If you live in a English speaking country and you cant understand the word (or the concept) of "opposite", you are a fkn retard and/or illitetre. Being illiterate now days is just a cnut hair away from being a retard.

Adequate levels of discipline, knowledge, experience, and judgement all require adequate levels of intelligence. Herrenstein & Murray proved the correlation of all those success factors with IQ.

Mark Zuckerberg on why he prefers to recruit people directly out of college In this interview from 2005, a 21-year-old Mark Zuckerberg is asked what he looks for in a new hire. There’s two things, he says. “Number one is raw intelligence. You can hire someone who has been doing software engineering for 10 years, and if they’ve been doing it for 10 years, that’s probably what they’ll be doing for the rest of their life. That’s cool — there are some things that that person can do and they’re definitely useful in an organization and can do a lot of stuff. But if you find someone whose raw intelligence exceeds theirs but has 10 years less experience, they can probably adapt and learn way quicker. Within a very short amount of time they’ll be able to do a lot of things that [the person with 10 years of experience] will never be able to do. So that’s the most important thing that I look for.” The second thing he looks for is alignment with what the company is trying to do: “People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don’t really believe in it, then they’re not going to work hard or care enough to develop the relevant experience in order to succeed. The best people I’ve hired so far have been people who didn’t really have that much engineering experience. I hired a couple of electric engineers out of Stanford to do programming stuff, and they had very little programming experience going in, but they were really smart and really willing to go at it. The guy who just wrote photos was one of those guys, and if you’re willing to just do whatever it takes to get photos out, then you’re probably more valuable than someone who is just a career software engineer.” He concludes: “Those are the things I’m looking for and why I would rather recruit people out of college.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2005)

Mark Zuckerberg: "I'd rather hire someone with raw intelligence and no experience than a 10-year veteran" "The two most important things I look for, number one is just raw intelligence." Zuckerberg explains why: "You can hire someone who is a software engineer and has been doing it for 10 years. If they've been doing it for 10 years, that's probably what they're doing for their life. And that's cool. There are things that person can do. They're definitely useful in an organization." But here's the tradeoff: "If you find someone whose raw intelligence exceeds theirs but has way less experience, they can probably adapt and learn way quicker. Within a very short amount of time, they'll be able to do a lot of things that the experienced person may never be able to do." The second thing he looks for: "Alignment with what we're trying to do. People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable. But if they don't really believe in it, they're not going to work hard. Even if they're a smart guy who doesn't have the relevant experience, if they don't care enough, they're not going to develop the relevant experience in order to succeed." On who he's actually hired: "The best people I've hired so far have been people who didn't really have that much engineering experience. I hired a couple of electrical engineers out of Stanford as new programming staff. They had very little programming experience going in. But just really smart. Really willing to go at it." He gives an example: "The guy who built Photos was one of those guys. If you're willing to just go and do whatever it takes to get it out, you're probably more valuable than someone who's just a career software engineer."
