What we can measure though is useful since it correlates to so many things. Controlling for every factor we can think of, parental income, school quality, etc etc, people who have high IQs when they're young have better outcomes as adults on average - in income, in happiness surveys, lower divorce rate, etc.
- daenz 5y agoI think people aren't aware that controlling for every factor is what distills the idea of general intelligence. That even after you account for everything you can think of, there is some quality that allows people to perform better mentally on many different types of tasks.
