This only concerns tiger moms. I learnt a bit of music when 10-12 and I am forever grateful for that, because music is a bridge between your senses and a lot of physics phenomena. It is a way to create bridges between feelings/senses and knowledge. For example, you can hear how a DSP filter or a modulator changes the original signal; you find the reasons why an engine with a certain number of cylinders sounds better; and so on.
Having some IQ is one thing, using it is another.
- omarhaneef 6y agoI learned to play the guitar, so I guess that is why I can recognize when my gear makes that horrible grinding sound. If I hadn't learned the chords to "All along the Watchtower", I'd probably be stranded on the side of the road right now.
- klft 6y agoAnd If you got stranded you don't worry because you know that there must be some kind of way out of here.

- epx 6y agoHappened to me as well. Saved at least two guys from losing a tire because of loose nuts, and one from losing the engine because it was sounding 'dry' or 'treble-y' because it was losing the oil. Of course, this could be the "swimmer's fallacy", perhaps I hear better than average (I certainly have poorer eyesight than average), but then again, if one gets a swimmer body but does not have access to a pool, won't become a swimmer.

- RedBeetDeadpool 6y agoYeah and even then a high iq is not all it’s cracked up to be. Maybe for a career that requires a lot of logic, sciences, etc., but certainly not for the majority of careers.
- epx 6y agoAgreed, replace IQ by "talent of some sort".
