RE: Are IQ Tests an Accurate Indication of Intelligence?
I suppose that's one way of looking at it
but i think happiness is happiness and intelligence is intelligence, even if both are very elusive to define
I guess the bottom line is that IQ is important, but it doesn't equal success and happiness, there are many different aspects that come into play that might be bigger factors influencing who and what we become
Obviously intelligence and happiness are two completely different things no doubt. I'm just trying to make a point. What's the point of high IQ if you choose a path in life that doesn't make you happy ? Why should we put so much emphasis on IQ, I think we should put the same or even more emphasis on EQ. But no one hardly mentions it. Still there is scientific research that shows EQ is many times more important than IQ for success.
The word success is very interesting because today we associate it directly with high salary and probably high IQ. I'm pretty sure this is the brain washing of society. In my opinion I high IQ is no use if you don't know how to think for yourself
