I see a lot of data to prove smart people aren't much happier, but no data at all to prove that
A) multiple types of intelligence exist and can be measured that aren't already measured by a mainstream intelligence test
B) a type of intelligence that makes you happier exists, and can be measured by performance on another task
C) when you ask someone how happy they are and they say "7", it means they're experiencing the same level of happiness as another person who also said "7", or even experiencing the same level of happiness they were when they said "7" decades ago
