I'm pretty much done citing anything mentioning IQ since it's been so thoroughly 'debunked'.

And I'm at least partly a victim of the "but your IQ is so high - you could do so much!" expectation trap. At least until I learned to let go of other people's expectations and just be myself.



IQ is just a measure of processing speed. You can still calculate anything you want on an old slower CPU with the same memory. It'll just take longer.

It's not that IQ is bunk, it's that effort and discipline counts more than anything when it comes to getting something done.
