IQ Talk
IQ-talk has taken a bum rap since the contentious uproar about the Bell Curve. IQ has been linked to racism and eugenics. Stakeholders in the establishment will not handle anything on IQ even with a 10-foot pole - it's just too volatile, especially in this woke-mind Zeitgeist.

IQ describes cogntive intelligence but it is not the be-all and end-all in intelligence (there is emotional intelligence, street smarts, personality, etc.).

IQ Facts

  1. IQ is genetic for the most part and stays at that level your entire life. While there are companies who advertise on increasing your IQ by doing cognitive exercises on a particular task, you become better performing that task but it doesn't transfer to other tasks - your IQ essentially remains the same.
  2. You can however, maintain your IQ especially as you age, if you maintain your fitness and you constantly learn new things.
  3. your IQ is slightly lesser than the average of your parents (because we have to consider the entire average of the genetic line)
  4. global average IQ is 100. Filipinos have an average of 86. Chinese have around 105. Elon has 155, Steve Jobs has 158 and Einstein has 160.
  5. IQ has long been established as a predictor of long-term success in complex occupations.
  6. IQ can be suppressed especially in children by not breastfeeding them, not stimulating them, depriving them of nutrition, etc.
  7. IQ is the highest benchmark in predicting long-term success followed by conscientiousness (diligence, industriousness). But IQ is 5X more powerful than conscientiousness.
  8. IQ is very easy to measure. Conscientiousness hasn't been measured accurately...maybe it can't.
  9. The US Army refuses to train anyone with less than 83 IQ because they are not trainable enough for military duty
  10. The cognitive ability variance is so vast within the disparity of those with high and low IQs - it's night and day
  11. All of psychology is predicated on IQ levels. To throw away the IQ factor is to render all of psychology meaningless.

Generations: Baby Boomers to Gen Alpha

(November 4, 2024) I'm a Baby Boomer. With so many generational names being thrown around describing how they function and shape society, I needed a clearer map of this Peoplescape. I asked AI and referred to other podcasts....more »»
