    Yale University article: Why a high IQ doesn't mean you're smart


    I've read the article with interest, however the Professor of Marketing seems to confuse culture/education with intelligence. Somebody could be an intelligent person without education, etc... and being the smartest won't guarantee that you are the most suitable person for a job, perhaps someone not so smart but with better attitude and education is more suitable for certain job. Being smart doesn't mean you are automatically a better person. You don't need the smartest ones for all the jobs anyway as they would become bored easily. There's some trend about resurrecting the obsolete multiple "intelligences" theories but there's just (a single) intelligence. Somebody could have multiple skills but these are not magically turned into "intelligence". Those are other skills and some of these can be learnt. You can learn to solve problems or to be methodic, but you can't magically increase your intelligence when you are a grown up. Having lower IQ than somebody else shouldn't make us ashamed: you are not a worse person, the other person could still be a moron, a smart moron but a moron anyway. And if it's not then much better, we'll have something to learn from him/her.
