It is the most irrelevant stat I have ever seen

Affirmative action 😍

Anyway. I don't get upset about statistics. I have a gene by which I should have had cancer by now. But I don't.

Ever heard about that???

if you have low IQ, you have less choices in life. There's no changes or rules you can bend to change that

Yes, you can work harder.

^

U can try hard indeed

exactly

exactly what @.B

but that's on the individual

yeah that only thing that matters

For many tasks, having an IQ difference of about one standard deviation means that you have to work at many tasks twice as hard.

Except if I thought that some gene made people stupid I would help them

@Undead Mockingbird I don't think that how that works?

Also, some people are incredibly productive. The square root of people are often responsible for half of productivity.

```if you have low IQ, you have less choices in life.```
If you have low IQ (like 80 and under), you're useless to society. I've worked with such low IQ people.
They don't even get that sitting in a bad place (where the whind might flow at a higher rate like next to an entrance) might make someone angry because he's cold.

I have seen more successful black people when they accept that "black" culture is bad

@Cody as long as you do it with your money, sure, go ahead

Or that Coffee next to book is bad when you want to sell book

@DanteMenace Well, for some tasks it is. For example, if you measure how long it takes two people to memorize a set of items.

yeah but how practical is that to learn a task that can be repeated

Two runners might not be equally fast, but if the task only consists in getting somewhere, both runners will eventually get there.

is it still as hard

or once the task or system is learned

is it natural

I know at below 80 it becomes almost impossible

Yes, that is why I accepted that qualifier that restricts the applicable cases.

IQ literally determines if someone can understand why they are doing something, and how to do it faster

That's it

the problem for them is that the workplace is in need for adaptability more than ever

You can learn to do something by doing it repeatedly

@Undead Mockingbird so once its learned its okay ish?

Low IQ People are good ad doing a repetitive task.

like taking a thing and placing it somewhere.

In nature, someone with a high iq is more likely to craft a spear than someone with a low iq.

Thing is: Those jobs are GONE.

IQ determines how well a person performs at certain mental tasks. However, those tasks have been shown to also be highly predictive of other, unrelated, specific tasks.
