Question about IQ: There are people with high iqs but who have

I want myself to lean toward the educated moderate, because he can apply his intelligence better and is using formulas from geniuses and their theories.

But then, the high iq could be auto processing and "seeing/perceiving" things that are conceptually beyond the moderate. And in a specialised labor market the moderates broad knowledge is less useful as most things can be outsourced

In what way is this question related to science or mathematics?

Attempting to quantify the 'quality' of a human is a philosophical question.

A humans value is their economic output, that is a question for mathematics.

Iq is part of psychology, which is a science.

The happiest one proved to be the most intelligent. Not the one who has the biggest value to society. IQ is a measurement of how one is able to survive (and be happy ), not how one is motivated to accumulate knowledge.

You didn't mention "economic output" at all. You just vaguely said "which is the better to be".

Shit thread desu desu.

Obviously the well studied one.

Your IQ doesn't mean jack shit. All that matters is what you're capable of doing.

IQ is a measure of potential, but it would make far more sense to look at your actual knowledge than try to define it with IQ.

>your IQ is inborn, and does not always correlate to your knowledge
>your knowledge is literally your knowledge

Why is this a question?

>>8920919
Intelligence is one of the two biggest factors from which your maximum potential is being calculated (the other being physical health), but being smart means fuck all if you never actually apply yourself and put your smarts to use.

Of the two examples you've provided, the only scenario in which the high-IQ underachiever might actually offer more value than the moderately intelligent overachiever is one involving procreation (but not fatherhood, he'd probably suck at that, too).

I do not agree. Your IQ score is a really not bad equivalent on how well you can use knowledge. Knowing all does not make you wise or smart. Or needed. Being smart in a great variety of situations does. Having the benefits of both a huge amount of usable knowledge and good thinking skills (vertical and horizontal ) gives you a great advantage.
However if one uses it only to get a great carrier and neglects the pure social part of life, he might end up the most unhappy person in the world.
