Do you agree with this graph?

Seeing as their are multiple types of intelligence. And multiple types of skills and the amount of dedication and skill necessary to be the best is probably more equal accross the board than we give credit for, outside of the sex tape thing.

I mean think about all of the guys that don't make it into the NFL and all of the ones that get hall of fame. Then think about who is considered the absolute best.

It's like comparing your college physics teacher to Steven Hawkins. I mean sure your teacher is crazy smart but he's no Hawkins.


All I'm trying to say is that I really don't like this graph I think it under values the people who are leagues above others. And Especially when you think about all the people that didn't make it in those fields.

Not really.
Rare for any author to be truly uniquely gifted.
Stephen King is an author but he's written the same story for the last thirty books ! Barbara Cartland, the same !
Not ALL musicians are THAT good. In fact few are exceptional.
Athletes i'd put near the bottom since their longevity is pretty brief and the truly gifted ones (carl Lewis; Joe Calzaghe; Steve Redgrave etc) are soon forgotten depending on who's currently being hyped.

Not really. Somethings require study, hardwork and criativity. Not just skill.

There are exceptions of course, but its fairly accurate.

And! Scientist is more study and hardwork than pure skill.

Yep

Truth.
