I'd rather have a hard worker with an average IQ than someone who's lazy with a high IQ. Besides, IQ tests have biases that don't translate to good job perform

Besides, IQ tests have biases that don't translate to good job performance. For example, if English isn't your first language you may do worse on an English-based IQ test.

- LyndsySimon 7y agoHave you by chance read anything by Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord? He’d strongly disagree with you: > I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.
