The assertion that IQ is pseudoscience, is denying reality. While not an exact measure, it correlates with a lot of other measures of flourishing.
But higher IQ doesn’t necessarily mean happier, or better in any way.
I know some extremely (academically) intelligent people. Some are arrogant pricks, others are really pleasant, others still are really awkward and difficult to talk to outside their specific interests.
Well yeah, nothing is guaranteed. It’s just a correlation – higher IQ people tend to have more success. More success doesn’t necessarily mean happier. But personally, I would take more success if given the option.
Great response.
