Is there a correlation between IQ and creativity? My IQ is 135, yet I can't program, can't draw, can't make music, don't play an instrument, can't write, can't paint. Why am I not a genius when my IQ is higher than 95% the average white human?

There's no correlation. Half of the musicians in Hollywood are fucktards but have a ton of creativity.

Oh God, why couldn't I be creative instead of smart

IQ is a made up number that is basically meaningless. All it measures is your ability to recognize patterns. It has no direct correlation with intelligence of any kind.

This.
Seriously, IQ is a meme.
>>38809641
wrong. you're confusing experience with creativity. any nigger monkey can throw down a beat or slam their dick against a piano until they get another boring "inspirational" track if they've been at it long enough.

>ability to recognize patterns
Which is the definition of intelligence
>>38809915
not the complete definition.

Yes, that's why black people dominate the entertainment industry.

I think there was a study once that determined that higher IQ was linked to infertility so you're fucked two ways, OP.

ACKchually there are a bunch of different things that are all highly correlated together (what this means is that if you're good at one of them, you're almost certainly just as good at the others). this is what IQ measures. it's not just pattern recognition, it's also memory, reaction time, how fast you are able to learn new things, and maybe a few others too. it has serious implications for how your life will turn out. low IQ people (around 80 or so) are much more likely to engage in crime, drop out of school, perform poorly in their job, etc. IQ is one of those most studied and verified "memes" in the field of psychology. if there's ONE thing that you should accept from psychology it's that IQ is real and it matters. if you think otherwise you are in blatant denial of reality. if having a good memory, pattern recognition, ability to learn, and quick thinking isn't intelligence then just what the fuck do you think is?
