The first step to success, is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a financial advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.

Working with a financial advisor who has worked in a solid financial firm for a long time, such as John Desmond Heppolette, will actually set you up for success in life. I'm delighted I was able to reach out to him earlier this year because while others were grumbling about the downturn in the markets due to the state of the economy, I was busy learning from him and eventually made over seven figures in the first quarter alone, which is why it's always good to join the correct community..

Yeah for real, John Desmond Heppolette, is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience..

That's great, your financial advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of financial advisors in making them more financially stable. I just discovered his exceptional resume when I made a Googled search of his names online. I consider it a blessing that I discover this comment area!

I’m impressed by John Desmond Heppolette, professionalism and expertise in financial planning. He took the time to understand my financial goals and provided personalized recommendations that have proven to be successful, with his guide I make monthly returns from investing in assets and mutual funds..

That’s true too, but unrelated to the points on the video.

@@lofiandchull I found this crippling after finishing university. Falling out of love with my subject, I had to get a job so worked in bars, customer service, warehouses, entry level positions and the general alienation towards my co-workers was soul destroying. As someone pretty extroverted and high in openness I couldn’t discuss anything I was interested in with even mild complexity and that really knocked me and my self worth at that point. Now I work for a software startup and my life is drastically different, but that lack of social nourishment was the reason I found it so hard to hold down even the most entry level job.

Thank you for that confirming hard-earned insight.

When a force is applied to a point in a direction, the result is said to create work. Did any of these people you spoke with work for themselves? Because that's more like 112 hours a week.

It all comes down to what you want imo, if you're that type of person to become super rich, sure you can work your ass off and become rich however the stress might be too much for you but you get more money. But if you're one of the "do what you love" and get a decent amount of money then that's okay too although you might not be able to buy as much thing as the rich people but in return you get better mental health. Some people want to be the best and some people want to have a balance, it's all about what you want.

If working 75 hours per week means you will earn enough money to retire at 40 years old and spend the rest of your life traveling and relaxing, then it can definitely be good for some people who'd rather have it this way.

I got diagnosed with ADHD. Properly. I was diagnosed with it as a kid but I completely didn't give a fuck about that back then. When I started noticing my emotional ranges and methods of communications were slightly off from rest of society (around me in USA), executive functions and drive, stability of mood were just... More reactionary than vice versa, I did my research. 2 years of it before I went to go and see if what I thought I had was.. well what it was. It helped me immensely. It didn't cure shit. But I was able to give myself an extremely useful and efficient tool to excel way past my peers who were dog shit and find myself in a place where I will not plateau.

I am certain if you are on the Autistic spectrum ( even mildly this includes ADHD, aspergers etc) IQ tests become much more inaccurate. In an 8 hour period I took the same IQ test. The first one gave me 105, the next gave me 117. I've done others that have put me up to 125. I find it hard to believe IQ can slide 20 points. The only thing that makes sense to me is that I have pretty severe ADHD - borderline autism. Just my thoughts. I seriously doubt you have an IQ of 85 in comp sci

FixedWing82 I have a similar story. Manual labor is highly underrated (and looked down on) in most modern societies, in terms of physiological value. Problem is most of it isn’t highly skilled and so you can’t make much money doing it. I got lucky and found a solution that provides solid income (not as much as my previous high paid position, but enough to support a family of 6). Posted this previously: Don’t know my IQ. Was a big box store manager for 8 years. Still technically middle management, because you aren’t making decisions on the direction of the company. But high stress and high levels of responsibility; $80m+ annual sales, responsible for 350 associates and 15 salaried managers, 60-80 hr work weeks. Decided I didn’t want to deal with the corporate bureaucracy/BS and/or try to move higher in the organization. Quit and bought a bread distribution territory (franchise style business, but a very simple business model). Now I work 40 hrs a week, no boss, no stress. And there is value in physical labor (not back breaking). Fulfilling and don’t expend all of your mental/emotional energy on your job/career so that you can focus it on things you enjoy.

This is really interesting Shannon how do you spend your job work time if I can ask?

I do not want to be a project manager anymore and I have lost my desire to do most things {career wise and social psychology way} in some sort of psuedo depressive way... I feel so lost in myself and feel like I can't find a way out or through. The struggle {internal} of competition and self advancement is holding me back... Trying to make sense of the right path for me feels so daunting at times that I tend to be reclusive and self deprecating. I'm praying for you and for anyone feeling like this to find the will to make the steps to start a progressive path forward to beat the call for regression and stagnation.

Saskia Hostni brother i'm in the same damn shoes

You're unhappy because you're lying to yourself. You need to eliminate your self ignorance. I can't tell you what it is that you lie to yourself about - you have to find this out. You need to find out who you are, and what you want. You need to find out what you truly desire, because thats the only way to follow what you truly desire. You're probably under the misconception that you desire money. But let me tell you something: of course the kids in Africa aren't happy when they're hungry. But that's their source of happiness. They know that they just need to eat something, and the hunger-sadness will go away. Now look at you. You're not happy, whether you're hungry or not. Your happiness isn't determined by your materialistic well-being, because your materialistic well-being is safe in Germany, anyways. The only thing that determines your well-being is your mental state. You can't be happy if you're not honest to yourself. About your emotions. About your wills. About your cans. You can only be happy if you really know yourself.

Little hint, you might have a mental disease. Maybe some kind of depression. Go to a psychologist and see if he finds something. Even if he doesn't; the risk that you might have something, that will influence your whole mental well-being, but you will ignore and deny it - this risk is too high. Strive for happiness and don't let anyone stop you. (if you have empathy, that is. If you're a psychopath, then you might not wanna always follow your morals or you'll end locked up)

IQ elitists are foolish. I've seen the slowest, dumbest kid in the class move to the front of her peers intellectually because she applied herself, becoming smarter and wiser than most people at her own slow pace. Many highly intelligent people, and I'm seeing them in this comment section, don't utilize their natural intelligence and fall behind. It's like natural talent. If you don't build upon it, you'll be surpassed by someone who didn't have talent but constantly works to improve their ability. If an unintelligent person has a good education, they'll learn that they can slowly and steadily catch up and win the race. People for whom things come easy often never learn how to struggle, and become lazy and avoid worthwhile challenges. I don't think I've ever taken an IQ test, but I was always the smartest kid in class and aced all my standardized tests. I value intelligence, but I would much rather be surrounded by slow-witted people with good personality traits than smart people without them. Intelligence and other talents aren't worth a damn thing if someone doesn't have the values and personality to put their abilities to good use. I judge people by their character. I don't think a person needs to be particularly intelligent, in terms of IQ, to be distinguished in a professional field. With normal intelligence and a work ethic, you can learn a great deal and achieve mastery at almost anything you apply to. I interpret Peterson as saying that people who are quicker at learning and pattern recognition (and IQ is basically a test of pattern recognition) will simply have an easier time being competitive in certain jobs. For other jobs, that sort of talent won't help as much. The only position he talks about where innate ability will limit most people is "being the best in the world". There's a lot of people in the world, and there's usually many people working as hard as they can at anything. So the best of them probably has some kind of advantage. It could be intelligence, or it could be wealth, or opportunity. Sometimes they just have more experience than anyone else. I also am surprised as some of the jobs. Sure, maybe a poor auto mechanic doesn't need to be intelligent. But a great auto mechanic who really understands the inner workings of all the common kinds of automobiles in the road today and modern electronic systems is likely to be as intelligent as a highly successful lawyer in my estimation. Both jobs require constant lifelong research and an inquisitive mind. I know many people in "high-IQ" jobs who have very poor reasoning ability. Someone objectively less intelligent but with "common sense" and wisdom would be much smarter, if you ask me. But these irrational people just worked hard enough to rise to their position. Good for them. Constant gradual self-improvement can take anyone very far, because we live in a world where most people aren't motivated to work harder than they need to, or have disabilities and disadvantages that prevent them from reaching their potential. If things don't come easily to someone, they can usually make up for their slow pace with some extra practice. It's that easy. Still, if someone finds they're constantly playing catch-up, and working harder than their peers to stay on pace, then that may not be the case in other jobs that don't require as much learning. But so what? Most people will just work a little harder because they want the job they want! Most people have had an experience where they wanted to do something, but it didn't come easily to them, so they had to spend more time mastering it than other people. It was still worth it, even though it wasn't as easy for as it was for some others. At the highest levels of competition, though, often even the slightest advantage determines the winner. Just look at top Olympic athletes, who often have biological advantages over most other human beings that give them a slight edge in their sport for which competitor is working equally hard. Champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong has an enlarged heart that pumped more blood, giving him a natural advantage. He's not a perfect example since he also cheated, but clearly he was world-class anyway and I remember this fact distinctly. I don't think Peterson would discourage people from persuing their dreams, but he might say that you're so tall that you're unsuited to be a jockey, or so shirt that you're unsuited to be a basketball player. You could still be a great horseman or basketballer, but with anatomical disadvantages you will never be the very best in the world. It's too competitive. If you want to be the very best, or have an easier time just being very good, then it would be practical to choose a career that suits your abilities. Peterson's larger point isn't about this at all, though. He argued that increasing automation leaves fewer human jobs. With more people competing for those jobs, they will go to the most qualified and able. This could continue until the only people working are the geniuses designing the machines that do everything. What happens to our civilization when we stumble into a society where most people don't contribute and aren't valued? We should not ignore this problem or it will cause social catastrophe. Somehow, we need every person to have the opportunity to contribute to the community and be valued. Humans need meaningful work. In a way, Peterson is arguing against the kind of intelligence heirarchy he's describing. It's not that it's bad for most mathmaticians to be intelligent people who are naturally good at math, it's that we shouldn't disqualify 15% of people from the workforce for not being clever enough. Their labor used to be valued. Automation, overseas low-wage labor, and mass immigration have reduced the number of available unskilled jobs. It's in the interest of society to find the unemployed productive, dignified, satisfying work. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to automate everything. And if we do, then perhaps we need to reimagine the workforce. Maybe robots will do all the hard labor for essential survival, and humans will do other kinds of things. Maybe if there are no more traditional jobs, people will have "work" of making cultural contributions and work on improving themselves and others. They've got to have some social role, or our society will be completely dysfunctional and people will become self-destructive aimless hedonists. We have already observed how destructive long-term underemployment is to communities and their values.

Let me tell you something that everyone takes for an absolute and no one considers to factor it in. Firstly IQ test that are online are always different and give different results. How you do in a IQ test HEAVILY depends on: how much did you sleep what is your mood(angry ,happy ,depressed , etc.) how much water did you drink. how much coffee did you drink did you eat before or during the test Have you exercised that day or week or month. Were you stressed were you concentrated or distracted. Now considering these factors when you take the test usually the first time is the real result that you get within normal range after that if you keep doing the test you just become better or worse at it. I did multiple tests on multiple sites and it was always different. First I got 115IQ on the mensa site that's a 20 min test. Then on couple of other websites I got 107,109,117,123,105. In my honest opinion they are just highly inaccurate because of the many other factors that are not counted in and at the end of the day what makes you good at something is just repeating the process until you learn it. If you are less smart if just takes more time to learn but you can still do it automatically by the time you learn it. People forget that the brain is good at automating things.

@@Paelorian Hey man, thanks for taking the time to write of all this. It certainly helped with my own feelings of insecurity regarding my intelligence. I've copied it into a word document to read again.

My husband is like that and Im lower in Conscientiousness, yet tests show fluid intelligence is inversely correlated with higher Conscientiousness and sub sectors of it like, orderliness, self discipline. Kinda explains the messy genius. There is a good medium that both are high enough and low neurotisicm and you succeed.

As someone who has consistently told that I was one of the smarter children throughout my youth, imagine my dismay when now at 30 I'm finding that virtually everyone is having a better life outcome than me.

After the dust settled, and I've really analyzed it to the best of my abilities, I've come to the conclusion that above all else I simply endeavoured upon pursuits that were WAY above my means. ..

Homemaker?

home·mak·er ˈhōmˌmākər noun a person, especially a housewife, who manages a home.

Brodo Faggins yes and when you marry that's what your life become supporting the homemaker

Indeed, I'll proudly do that. My wife won't be a degenerate/treacherous hag.

They support each other. The homemaker career is to feed, clean and support husband

Yeah I agree, I thought JP might see past the iq thing a bit. Is he really saying someone's iq could be so low they couldn't throw bags into skips?

Yes. That is why he mentions that "conscientiousness is also a predictor for success"...

JP did say that. He said IQ is a predictor of how quickly you learn a job, not how well you do that job.

Actually its not, most work success is achieved by people with high social skill. Granted it depends on what you define success as.

This is taken out of context as well, he is explaining IQ in depth so the student can understand their fullest potential

I bet he'd tell you it's pretty highly correlated. People tend to try and get the best jobs that they can, not many people with 130 IQ working at McDonalds.

@@michaeldillman1660 unless you are an immigrant

@@nathan_408 What haha

@@michaeldillman1660 i have an average IQ about 108 from the 3 official tests I've done and I am in a top 5 law school. Doesn't take a genius to be a lawyer. That's for damn sure. Rocket scientist, engineer, physics, mathemagicians, yup, probably need a high IQ.

@@Int3nseGrind IQ tests are total crap. The methodology is garbage but beyond that ability to retain lots of random facts doesn't measure fluid intelligence at all.

@Ralph Yeah, right.

@@Remembering-rq6si This is so classic, nobody believes cold hard self-proclaimed numbers on IQ.

@Vernie In fact, the mere fact that one would feel to compelled to proclaim their IQ is very suspect! The ego must have been wounded.

@Ralph Wiggam I was about to reply saying exactly this, you never brought it up in the first place you just corrected that one guy when he jokingly said 180.

How did you find that path? I think I might be in a similar position, but I'm trying to identify whether I need to pivot or "keep going"?

Hey! I just focused on the things I was good at. Look for the things that you can do with ease, that come natural to you. These will probably be things you do well also. Then see how you can take these skills and utilize them to make a living. Does that make sense? I wish you the best! It's a challenging transition

@@ek5384 hi. Good advice. Not having a super high iq made me super depressed but I will take this advice.

I really dislike how he put it like "high iq? Laywer. Low iq? Factory job" it's kind of despicable. I study law and some people here are twice as smart as others but it doesn't show in their grades. Having high iq and doing well in school doesn't go hand in hand at all. Funny story i lived in an asylum the first eight years of my life because my parents fled from their country and so did my friend. I was the second best in maths of my school only second to him. He was better in almost every subject. Fast forward we move out of the asylum center and go out seperate ways, his parents were divorced long before and he didn't have the best upbringing and I on the other hand had a perfectly fine upbringing. Today I study law and he works in construction. Does it make me smarter? I don't think so.

@@tank7474 thank you for posting this, I completely agree with you. I really didn´t like the way he talked about low iq people and he made it seem like high IQ means best jobs, at the top wish should be the goal. It is not for most people and not helping for my career decision at the moment cause I am not one of the top, just average. But that is okay.

Same here. I'm thinking dentist would be nice job. Problem is that I sucked with biology and physics and now I'd have to go there all over again.

Same dude. I'm almost 25, and I still don't know. It's stressful and crap working dead end jobs without a plan for the future.

All I can recommend is to start with something. Doesn't have to be the right thing, just something to collect experience, it's easier to change jobs than start with the first one. Also, assess your position on that scale realistically and see what works for you, something that no career advisor will honestly do for you.

same here

Same I am 18 and not sure what to do at all 😢 it’s so frustrating

alter3go there is where other factors like agreeableness come into play. Hear his other speeches, they are very insightful

Best way to think of an IQ is your natural height compared to your chances of making the NBA. It's an almost necessity but means nothing if you lack the skills and motivation to do so. Players like Curry may only be 6 foot 3 (short in this case) but compensates with merit. But at a certain point at about 5 foot ten (or sub 95 IQ) then it will take a tremendous amount of dedication to even be considerable.

+alter3go I wish I had scrolled down a bit before posting now, but yes I agree with you. I wonder how best to cultivate that disagreeable streak!. I used to have a friend that tried to get me to train my "inner bastard", I think he knew a thing or two!

+Stefffan do you know of any lectures where he talks of concrete steps to doing that? Ive seen him talk a lot about the necessity for it, and owning the shadow, but as when I have looked at Jung in general, actual steps are hard to come by. Getting the balance right is my concern, as its easy to swing too far into aggression and ultimately shooting yourself in the foot.

I too studied in IT, but realized that it isn't fit for me as I cant really adapt to new situations well and it takes a while for me to learn new stuff. Now I work in a print house (Not sure if it is a correct term as English isn't my native language) which requires a lot of monotonous work. I think its a good position for me even though I think I would be able to work in a more complex work environment.

Probably a good decision.

That's funny!!!! Lol

Too funny

Good puppers!

this is a good one lmaoo

Well, clearly there is such a thing as fluid IQ. Einstein was a physicist, not a specialist in psychometrics. Also, survivorship bias.

Anonymous squirrel that’s so pathetic

High IQ doesnt mean you definately will succeed in a job, it just means you can. Low IQ on the other hand makes it certain you cant succeed on some jobs. If you are smart and lazy, or smart and have low stress tolerance, you cant handle every high IQ job. If you have low IQ and high stress tolerance/high conscientiousness the latter traits wont help you understand something.

sometimes parents make sacrifices from their education and job life for their children to have a good life. they’re just good parents♥️

@@mysu3777 I mean they literally spent money that they didn't have on gambling and booze. I was praised for being smart but I literally have to lecture them on stuff like "what did you think would happen when you park your vehicle infront of someones house for days on end" or "don't you think that $15k would have been better spent on overdue bills instead of a night at the casino".

The same realization here. I was in some advanced class (AIG?) in elementary for reading and math. The honest to God truth about why I was in that class was because I was one of the only ones who paid attention. I didn't have advanced intelligence, it was just that I was a little less dumb/paid attention than the people around me. Some really smart kids were making low grades too. It's all about circumstance. But, excess intelligence is one of those things that doesn't matter in the world aside from status. It's a tool that we only see when people show it off. Kind of like muscle.. It's great to have it, but it isn't everything and rarely gets you further than everyone else.

You’re smart enough to notice that, and perhaps you’re the step of your genes. Keep it up

@kite man Yeah, that's more what I meant to say. You have to take advantage of it and put it into practice, and I feel most people won't get further by having slightly excess intelligence than most people. By that I also meant having intelligence above most average IQ workfields. Having enough IQ to get through college and do your job is a great tool.

I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.

@Peter Moore That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors..

It’s all good though. Lol.

What do you mean

What job do you do Vellfire if you don't mind sharing?

I wish I had average, because, well this is just my own experience. Once you score high you always search for things that confirms your intelligence, and slowly whether you want it to or not you think of your intelligence as your defining trait. But then you read articles talking about how IQ changes drastically while young or other articles stating that some of the things your doing is indicative of dropping your IQ, and now you start feeling more and more hopeless as you think that the thing that you have been defining yourself as and the thing that gave you some sort of pride. Is indeed false or have changed, that type of feeling is one I’m currently dealing with now even though it has been about 2 years since I have been tested. Than you start feeling guilty about other things. Like since your so smart why are you wasting it on laziness. Why don’t you start studying to become a doctor or a engineer and help people? These thoughts come into your head from time to time. While you don’t want to become a snob that brags about their intelligence all the time. You unintentionally become that once you begin to think more and more about that. The more you think the more it seems to become more and more hopeless and you become more and more unsure. In the end you wind up in a catch twenty two. Still in that pit I have thought about how iq tests aren’t the complete truth and I really want to slip into a nihilistic void. But still can’t help thinking about that. I know this comment is long as well as pretty late and probably no one will read it. But if there is someone who read this far, Thank you. And sorry for the long rant

Why limit yourself with this identity?

@@damsarebiotic6263 well articulated. this is exactly my situation. i have been googling rather narcisistic questions about IQ for 2 years, even while knowing it only feeds the insecurity. like thats your only worth and you must protect your most valuable asset. what helped me was viewing IQ like you would physical traits. like for example, you wouldnt praise someone for being born tall or with a symmetrical face. its innate and the person did nothing to achieve that, it happened to them. on the same token, you cant really get angry with people lacking intelligence sincw they didnt do anything wrong, its just fate.

Bill Gates also believes that circumcising all of Africa will solve the aids epidemic there. I don't think he is an authority on intelligence.

@@tylerh629 Circumcision will definitely make you clean and less prone to infections down there for sure.

@@MJ-cf9nl Quite the opposite. An exposed urethra will let bacteria in much easier. Same goes for an exposed glans that is more prone to abrasion, not to mention decolorations and dryness at an earlier age. You still have to wash as much even if you are circumsized. You don't smell grime and bacteria as intensely without a foreskin to focus the odour, but it is still there, so you are more likely to have poor hygiene and infect yourself or your partner.

I completely agree. If someone has dyspraxia or a slow processing disorder but a high IQ, they would probably make poor cleaners, retail workers yet they would be good at certain jobs that require deep concentration.

There are some choices! Let me know if you want me to list them. Choices to a peaceful life if thats what would make you fulfilled. Peace and quiet

I don't have any solution but good luck

Well your priority is definately your mental health.....when that's in a bad place nothing can go right so make sure you have good, regular support. I live in Australia so IDK how things are in the US but perhaps if you could get a mental health plan with a therapist that could potentially pay your debt off in installments cos we have sth like that here. Also, temporary farm work is really good for mental health, gets you out of your comfort zone into the unknown, keeps you active, you can meet new people, have routine AND get paid. But look after yourself above all else because otherwise you wont be able to do anything

Eli Marc please list 👍

I graduated high school but almost failed senior year and stood at around a 2.5 gpa or something. I was in a bad place mentally. Depression, anxiety, untreated add. Once my mental health was improved, I started college and Im in my 3rd year in engineering, holding a 4 gpa. Your mental health can make a huge difference and can show/hide your true potential.

Clean your room!

Bla bla bla, no shit.

There are also many people who don’t have high IQs that have millions in dollars through fame or something else.. so it’s not everything. I also don’t like the tone of this guy when he said who’s the smartest person at university? Usually the mathematician or physics student.. I know the opposite but I won’t say.. and people laughed.

Such a long comment for the most basic of ideas

I aspire to have that lightbulb moment. Have felt like I’m in the wrong place my whole life. Good for you for finding your niche

Most successful people always seek the ideas and experience of financial professionals that help tackle issues on wealth management and growth but claim to attain their success alone

To attain financial growth, you need a high degree of knowledge and experience from a professional to make your goals a reality. Get a professional to walk you to success

If I don’t do something about my financial situation, my income will remain stagnant. Please, how can I get a professional to help grow my finance? I look forward to your reply

Oh, sorry for the late response. I engage in various investments through the guides of a highly skilled Investment Professional and have so far achieved over $500k in return. The idea of getting a professional has been great for me, it has shaped my finances over the years; my retirement is looking good 🥂

To get more details about my Investment Professional *(Diana Alexandra Hunts)* ; do quick internet research where you can write her, research her full name above. Give her a try and walk to success.

I feel for you brother. I also dislike how Peterson did this lecture. I felt like he was degrading labourous jobs. To try to help you maybe try food delivery? I know it's not the same but atleast you'd get out of the house and not be stuck staring at a screen all day. What are you thinking about right now?

If you are going thru Hell, keep going. You are putting in a heroic effort to provide for yourself (and others?) during an incredibly challenging period of time. Change your perception of your efforts from victim to Hero. YOU ARE THE HERO during this time, and get to flex these muscles for just a little longer. Soon you will move ahead to a less challenging time period for you, but you will use the strength you built from the efforts your making now, for a lifetime. Notice what you are capable of each day, be proud of it. Would a desk jockey brag about being able to handle a time of working construction if they were in a similar situation? Of course they would! Talk up what you are doing, be proud of your efforts, and know that you will be basking in gratitude soon and for years to come.

Work from home jobs SUCK SUCK SUCK. I don't think anyone wants to be cooped up in the house all day.

@@DavidVonR I do. I'm a little autistic, though, so I doubt I'm anywheres close to normal. I've never tried a work from home job though, I don't even know where to look to find something like that.

@ocelot. If you wanna get fired in your first month of work, you can :)

Agreed! I used to attend a grammar school and many people have a kind of 'stupid intelligence', valuing grades over everything and hating upon people pursuing creative jobs, but they cannot hold an insightful conversation nor think for themselves. IQ is only a small part of it, EQ should be equally valued. As Stephen Hawking said - people who brag about high IQs are idiots. However, I suppose he is talking more about efficiency in the corporate work place, in which case higher IQs make for better workers - people with higher EQs are more likely to become artists, writers, etc. which are more unstable and self-driven and perhaps not considered as 'jobs' by some people. I was hoping this talk would be more open minded about what is considered a 'job', as it hardly mentions creativity.

I heard of studies that says IQ has barely any correlation to success level. I just wonder, how come Dr. Peterson says the other way around. Does he know studies that confirm this?

@@sr3821 Well at some point it has to correlate with intelligence right? Like he said you cant do a job that requires solving complex problems, if you cant even understand simple texts you´re reading

@@Shkelqim95 It depends on what kind of complex problem. For scientific research, I believe you need good intelligence. However, I read somewhere, success at top level management has low correlation with IQ, but high correlation with social skills. It means, if you are a CEO, you don't have to be very bright intellectually, but you need to make your team work well to solve those problems. Most likely, you need to hire people who are smarter than you, then motivate them to work well.

@@sr3821 If it correlates even a little with intelligence, the point is proven. You need to be intelligent yourself to evaluate other peoples intelligence as well. So basically there is noone "completely dumb" in the top management, because he wouldn´t even know how to get there. With exceptions of course.

That's why I want to be an administrator. *cries*
