I'd like to see a citation for that, especially for the idea that the self-control/discipline associated with high IQs transfers over to non-academic aspects of life, which is what's in question here.
- DropInIn 3y agoI'm pretty sure they're conflating a higher likelihood of determining an action precluding risk factor prior to action with actual self control and discipline.... It's more just that the smarter you are the more likely you are to both recognize the existence of the risk factor as well as "do the math" before your impulses induce action.
- Gareth321 3y agoHere you go: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2614657/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2614657/ > Delay behavior in both sexes was also correlated positively with IQ and with Q-sort-derived indexes of ego resiliency and ego control. The relationship between ego control and delay behavior was particularly strong after both IQ and ego resiliency were partialled. These results were interpreted as reflecting the fundamental importance of both cognitive skillfulness and impulse control for adaptive delay behavior in situations that contain strong motivational inducements. This study doesn’t measure academic related delayed gratification. I’m surprised to be asked for a source. This has been settled science for decades.
