>Assortative mating is greater for intelligence (spouse correlations ~0.40) than for other behavioural traits such as personality and psychopathology (~0.10) or physical traits such as height and weight (~0.20)
>In part, spouses select each other for intelligence on the basis of education---spouses correlate about 0.60 for years of education ---which correlates about 0.45 with intelligence.

This is pretty true. Smart people find other smart people easily thanks to their education. Stupid people end up with stupid people. Only some extreme outliers contradict this.
>Women who think success in formal education is a measure of intelligence
>Women who get a college degree and think they're more intelligent than anyone who doesn't
It's almost always women who think this, the irony they're so fucking stupid that they don't understand intelligence has nothing to do with educational/financial success.

It has everything to Do with it. Stupid people do not handle money well and can't get an education. There's a reason niggers live with their moms well into their 40s and can't read

There's literal geniuses in the top 1 percentile for intelligence who dropped out of high school and became NEETs. At that intelligence you're just as likely to be a bum as you are a successful engineer.
I'm not in the top 1 percentile, but I am in the top 3, had my IQ professionally tested in 8th grade. But I don't need a test to tell me I'm more intelligent than the vast majority of people.
>Stupid people do not handle money well
You need money to handle money, and there's geniuses out there with no money to handle.
Why do they have no money? Not necessarily because they're stupid, but because they don't care enough to even try in modern society.
Succeeding in modern society is about how well you can work with the system, how well you can follow orders from authority, and how much effort you are willing to put in. There is some overlap with intelligence for STEM fields, if you get good grades as a physics student in college you have to be somewhat intelligent, but that's all.
A NEET with no money could still be a genius.
