> IQ often isn't what I care about when evaluating a person
It does become important if you're hiring, looking for a friend or romantic partner, or if you're going to be under that person's authority.

- icantdrive55 9y agoCould you imagine. The lights are low. The Merlot glass is half filled. And she is filling out IQ test. Oh boy. By the way, I've known two people who belonged to Menza. One is homeless, and the other is a a Cop who had one desire in life; be a Detective. Well that never happened, and he now wears a Cowboy getup, and mutters to himself in thrift stores. Oh yea, he was the worst cop, and an awful person. I did see him figure out a Rubix Cube. He did tell me one thing about IQ tests. They can be studied for, and it took him seven years to get in.

Empathy is very important to many, along with, yes, physical attractiveness and financial security.
