How important it intelligence?

[MartinV]

Thats all wrong... why should i believe these stats anyway?

Well, because they're not random points pulled out of someone's a$$ on a forum. It's certainly valid to look at their study and dispute the research, but that's a bit different than just randomly saying "That's all wrong!"

Intelligence is needed in order to have a good "smart" strategy

Is it really? Maybe you just need enough to copy a successful strategy? or to listen to the advice of someone who's smarter or more experienced? Sure, you need a certain amount of intelligence to put on your pants in the morning, but as I mentioned above, once you reach a certain minimum amount of intelligence, more doesn't necessarily make you more successful.

The phrase "outsmart the next guy" was created for a reason otherwise it would be "outwork the next guy"

Maybe people like that phrase because "outsmarting" someone sounds a lot easier than outworking them? I can (in theory at least) outsmart someone in a single moment of inspiration, but if I want to outwork them, then I might actually have to wake up early and get off the couch!

EXAMPLE:
Johnny is a successfully guy with a decent IQ, he makes $750k per year.
Now Johnny is cloned except he is twice as smart, he comprehends twice as fast, he learns new concepts twice as fast.

Who is going to make more?

If there were a magic smart pill, I'm sure we'd all take it. However, if you cloned them from birth, the answer might not be so clear cut. Assuming that the relatively dumber guy is still average, the smarter guy probably doesn't have to work as hard to be successful in school and probably ends up with a worse work ethic than the other.

I know that personally, my lack of work ethic in my earlier years has probably delayed my overall success by a decade or more. If I could magically trade a few IQ points to have my current work ethic back then, I'd happily do it.

Consider it another way: What if your magic smart pill would make you as smart as you want, but you'd sleep one year for each IQ point you gained. Would you still take it? Would you trade the next 10 years for 10 more IQ points? If not, what would that ratio have to be before you would make the trade? How much is intelligence really worth to you?
