Wait, am I stupid or smart because I’ve been in a car accident?

  Studies suggest that your IQ can be used to make strong predictions about your lifetime odds of getting into a car accident, but that doesn't flow backwards - you cannot use someone's occurrence or nonoccurrence of being in a car accident to make a reasonably strong prediction about their intelligence, because their intelligence isn't the only thing affecting their lifetime likelihood of being in a car accident.
