This is really surprising to me. It seems the popular narrative is much different from that found by actual researchers. I do have some reservations though. Do all of these correlations (happiness, job success, EQ, general intelligence, etc.) hold up at the higher and lower end of IQ (e.g. 130 -> 150 or 60 -> 80) Does the vast amount of data near the middle cloud what's happening at the ends? Also, on the age 11 versus age 90 distribution, there appears to be a lot of funneling of the residuals. Lower age 11 IQs seem to have a lot less correlation with later life than higher age 11 IQs. I wonder if this has to do with late development or behavioral problems that cause artificially low IQs. Either way very interesting article.
