Decades of intelligence research has found that people with high IQs have the propensity for good performance in just about any cognitive task you set before them.
- robbedpeter 5y agoThere is a bit of a circular definition there - people with high iq are good at what people with high iq are good at. IQ is a predictor of success in almost any particular metric for which it's reasonable to measure (so things like success in visual art and music don't correlate as well. ) In finances, career paths, academia, social status, politics, writing and so on, IQ strongly correlates to relative performance. IQ may be a poor proxy for some strictly well derived fundamental of cognition, but we don't have that quite yet. Maybe we'll be able to ask gpt-9000 and get a sensible answer?
