Probably if you filter by raw IQ (either yours or others definition) you would get a lot of imaginative people as most intellectual faculties are positively correlated with each others.
On the other hand if it turns out that you are actually filtering by "willingness to take years of testing" then you might get different results
- mjburgess 4y agoI think these correlations are often spurious. Low IQ correlates with poor performance, making it clinically useful. I dont think there's much to be said about >115, other than by filtering on it, you at best reduce the variance in other abilities.
- gedy 4y agoExactly, I'd have no problem taking an IQ test for a role, and usually test high on those. Leet code grinding and interview "preparation" I just have no time and willingness for.
- badpun 4y ago> On the other hand if it turns out that you are actually filtering by "willingness to take years of testing" then you might get different results That's a very useful signal still. Willingness to takes years of testing signals willingness to subjugate oneself to lots of unpleasant crap for money and prestige, which is something FAANGs are happy to see in their workers.
