Can someone have a low IQ and be smart?Comment

IQ tests measure the capability to take tests and to think quickly. That is not the same as intelligence, although it can be clues to the same. As one who always scored well on these, I can say that it took me a long time to learn that being quick and having a good memory are only two aspects of that phenomenom: intelligence. I have not identified instruments that do a better job; I am just saying it only measures some aspects of the subject.

High IQ doesn't necessarily correspond to success in life.

This thing is enough to condemn an entire organization just by being a member? Not that I am all that fond of Mensa, anyway.

Interesting question, but I'm not sure what to answer. I found this article on the web: intelligence: knowns and unknowns. Its a report by the American Psychological Association. Here's the link for those interested:

I think IQ is a rather unnecessary concept. It is not a measure of intelligence unless "intelligence" is defined as being what IQ tests measure, and nobody knows what having a high IQ is good for.Comment

It's good for everything, as people who are smart in one thing tend to be smart in other things too.
There is research about correlation with wealth of nations too, by a Finn actually.Comment
