IQ is a useless measure. Not in that it doesn't give an accurate prediction of retards, but in that it tries to pass off half the retards as non-retards simply because they can recognize shapes half as well as a fucking monkey. Honestly, most 110 IQ people are straight up brain dead and then 75% of the population in white countries is worse than that. I think the best measure for retardation is to just look at how they manage their money. If they're poor and have a negative networth they're proles. If they financed a car or live in debt but have a positive networth they're retarded. If they own a reasonable amount of assets for their age without consumer debt then they're average. If they use their money to produce more money then they're smart. If they started a business or produced something of great worth then they're a genius.

How do you brainlets measure up in this system?

Well then it seems that your measurement of intelligence is how well people can manage their impulses? People will do things that are not in their best interest just to feel good, to ride a wave of chemicals.

Success in business has many variables, a lot of great ideas have probably failed while others succeed by luck. Being in the right place at the right time.

I would agree IQ isn't a good indicator of general intelligence. It does measure some kind of logic or pattern cognition in a contrived way. It does measure some subset of your ability but cannot alone predict your success in life.

IQ is a pretty good filter of unintelligence, highly correlates with crime rates, wealth and academic success and is largely inherited. https://youtu.be/u1jsWrQu7CQ

I'm not arguing that IQ correlates with retards. I'm saying that financial responsibility has better correlation with true intelligence.

Any studies to show that? Immediately Perelman, Grothendieck, Ramanujan etc. come to mind whoms't you wouldn't associate with great financial responsibility and it doesn't look like a more feasible way to measure than an IQ test. I generally take the cut off at 145 for IQ tests after which they are pretty much useless.
