I am not sure we should be so fascinated by IQ over 110. Maybe even 105. I mean, as far as I can tell, demonstrated intelligence – or maybe we should call it ‘wisdom’, which is sufficient for action in all walks of life – which we should differentiate from intelligence – or the rate at which we can learn abstractions, seems largely a problem of eliminating impulse, bias, ignorance, and attempts at upgrading our status by ‘cheating’ using various means of verbal and signal deceptions. We can train people into wisdom just as we do in to reading, mathematics, and sciences. So if we produce a narrow distribution, that’s just fine. The problem is the bottom.
