The professional victims will cry racism and destroy any such scheme. (IQ is a strong predictor of future income, is mostly genetically determined, and some human groups drew the genetic short straw.)
- dkrich 14y agoNot sure whether you are being serious or not, but beyond a certain IQ (I think around 120) there is no correlation between IQ and income (or success in general). This has been studied over and over.
- gwern 14y agoYou are misinformed; the correlation shrinks a great deal (diminishing returns) and becomes dominated by other factors like personality (Extraversion and Conscientiousness especially), but it's still positive. Look at the Terman study's lifetime incomes.
- jellicle 14y ago>some human groups drew the genetic short straw.) Let me guess which groups: the ones you don't belong to?
- Daniel_Newby 14y agoI drew a number of genetic short straws, but apparently not one limiting IQ too badly.
