HELP? RESEARCH QUESTION: IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN VERBAL INTELLIGENCE AND WORK CAPACITY?

I don’t know. I would say no. Is there a connection between general intelligence and work capacity? I would also say no. I would say that that work capacity limited by impulsivity and mastery of the work so that one experiences relative successes at limited cost. I cannot do anything that requires I switch frequent context for long. I cannot do anything terribly boring for long. I can however work on my favorite subjects pretty much until I drop dead from exhaustion. But my observation of people in the workplace in both white, blue collar, and labor occupations is that if people can obtain a state of mental relaxation while doing their work, they can do it forever regardless of their intelligence. Quieting the mind is extremely important. (hence my interst in stoicism and its variants), and perhaps just as importantly, ensuring we are not lonely. Which is I think the great sense of anxiety that permeates american life.

Thanks.
