I have an interesting take on this article. I had an IQ > 150 when I was originally tested when I was a teenager. Later in my teenage years, I experienced trauma that resulted in my IQ dropping by 20+ points, permanently. This means that my IQ is currently in the higher end of the normal range. Here is what I noticed: 1. I feel less "sharp". By this I mean I feel slower to react to things and it takes longer for me to formulate thoughts. Words "caught on the tip of my tongue" happen more often. 2. It takes longer for me to learn. This applies to things like reading comprehension all the way up to learning new technologies. I need to read more slowly and practice more often before I can master a topic. 3. My concentration has decreased. I have ADHD, even as an adult, but following the trauma, it became worse. What it didn't affect: 1. My motivation. I've always considered myself an entrepreneur. If anything, I am more motivated to be successful - even if I have to work harder. 2. My dedication to lifelong learning. I am a strong proponent of learning new things is important to being successful. TLDR; IQ has its advantages, but it isn't the only factor.
