I consider myself lucky to be unencumbered by a high IQ (I've only scored between 120-160).
Unfortunately on my literary irony test, I barely eked by with a passing grade.
But I strongly feel like the traditional wisdom says, an IQ test is only a measure of how well you take an IQ test.
If life were a reflection of how well you score on an IQ test, then yes having a high IQ would be something to develop.
I feel that yes, in certain cases, if you have a high spatial score on your IQ test, you can learn how to bag groceries at the super market with extra efficiency, so I suppose there can be real world examples of how IQ can be useful.
But other than that the evidence that suggests that having an IQ = wealth or achievement or even genius is marginal at best.
IQ is more something that people like to boast about to make themselves feel better. Kind of like guys with big members when that's the only thing they have going for them
