My IQ was measured
extremely high and one of my professors in College told me not to get
high minded because IQ means shit in the real world.
For example; Kim
Kardashian's IQ hovers at around 95, yet her net worth is about one
Billion
Kourtney
Kardashia has
an IQ
score: 80 Yet
her net worth is 45 million
Rodney Alcala had
an IQ of 160 and was a serial killer with 130 victims.
Albert DeSalvo had
an IQ of 172 also known serial killer
Ted Bundy has an IQ
of 136 and killed over 36 women
Nobel Prize winning physicist clearly an idiot
Consider American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman. He
actually took the IQ test as a 12 or 13 year old, hitting a squarely
'average' score of 125. And went on to be regarded as one of the most
brilliant and influential figures in his field, remaking quantum
electrodynamics and winning the Nobel Prize in 1965, all the while
joking about his low IQ.
The moral of the story: IQ scores are suspect, and online articles
about IQ scores are highly dubious. You'd have to be a sub-90 to believe
otherwise.
IQ all begin when
Alfred Binet was commissioned to identify students who needed
educational assistance. It
was this situation
that led
to the
first intelligent quotient (IQ) test.
Mr Binet STRESSED
THE LIMITATIONS OF THE TEST, suggesting that intelligence is far too
broad a concept to quantify with a single number.
Instead, he
insisted that intelligence is influenced by many factors, that it
CHANGES OVER TIME, and that it can only be compared in children with
similar backgrounds.
But the Political
atmosphere immediately used it as a “Measure” of how smart a
person is or how dumb a person can be.
As can be seen by
the examples above, IQ is a number being used today in a manner it was not intended for. IQ was supposed to be a gauge to determine which students
needed educational assistance.
