That's not neccessarily so Mutt. I'm thinking we can never deal in absolutes. People are just too widely varied and unique as individuals.
For instance I would take a person with an average IQ and a personality that makes the person incredibly determined and aggressive with natural leadership skills over a more passive individual with a high IQ.
But at the same time when you combine an "A type" personality with a high IQ you get a bad motherfucker. For instance, look at Madonna. She has a genius level tested IQ. And even though I never thought much of her "music", there is no denying she is one of the most successful people in the world.
I guess it's like they say: All things EQUAL, a good big man will always beat a good little man.
So if you have two people with equal amounts of skill, determination, and abilities....and one has a much higher IQ than the other one...the higher IQ will be more successful.
