So? Yao Ming is over 7 feet tall. Elizabeth Hurley is beautiful.

Get enough people and there are bound to be exceptions.
@HoraceGreenley Actually, multiple IQ studies have found a statistically significant positive correlation between higher IQ and more liberal political affiliation. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/millennial-media/201304/do-racism-conservatism-and-low-iq-go-hand-in-hand

Conservatism, and Low I.Q. Go Hand in Hand? Lower cognitive abilities predict greater prejudice through right-wing ideology. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224132655.htm

Liberals and atheists smarter? Intelligent people have values novel in human evolutionary history, study finds. https://www.upi.com/Higher-IQ-linked-to-liberalism-atheism/68381267513202/

Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence.

@ElwoodBlues
IQ is cultural
@HoraceGreenley So you're saying that in OUR CULTURE liberals are smarter and higher achieving. I'll accept that.

@ElwoodBlues
No. Not at all. IQ is not a measure of inate cognitive abilities.

It's greatly impacted by environment.
@HoraceGreenley Sure. And in the environment of OUR CULTURE liberals are smarter and higher achieving. I'll accept that.

@ElwoodBlues
Not necessarily. Those are not correlated.

But if it helps you sleep at night go with it.
@HoraceGreenley The operations on the data measure and report correlations. The data says they are correlated. But you can deny the data if it helps you sleep at night.

@ElwoodBlues
No the study correlates IQ with values.
@HoraceGreenley And higher IQ in our culture correlates with higher achievement academically and at work.

@ElwoodBlues
Not really
@HoraceGreenley As usual, you haven't done your research!!

[u]4. Discussion[/u]
All in all, extensive research shows that IQ scores can play a critical role in determining positive life outcomes like success in academic performance from elementary school through college, job performance, and occupational status. These results seem to confirm the validity of IQ tests to measure intellectual abilities which lead towards the types of success that are valued in Western cultures. In other words, IQ assessment may thus become destiny.[/quote]

[quote] [b] Is IQ A Predictor Of Success?[/b]

As the question is stated, the answer is simply "yes".

If you take a "real" IQ test (see comments below), then the result is a strong statistical predictor of multiple future life outcomes - income, education level, health, even longevity. There are hundreds of studies that confirm these correlations. So in that sense, it "predicts" your future "success". [/quote]
