That is what drives them to learn more.
Being smart is not knowing things or much of everything.
Being smart is the ability to figure out what you need/don't know by whatever means possible. Create your own formula for get'n it done.
Something you can't achieve if you don't want to accomplish anything. I have a name for it... 'I Quest'
So more often than not, real IQ is a matter of 'drive'.
Sometimes the lack of drive comes from the over abundance of fear.
Successful people (not necessarily high IQ) have managed the fear factor. But success means something different to each person. But success in the biz world seems to come from those that are well practice at the art of manipulation. That does not 'require' a high IQ.
So those with a high IQ and with a lack of formal education will normally have a good set of 'life skills'.

Wow
I actually got some interesting responses ... that is good to see and refreshing. For sure. My new sense of purpose since I have nothing to keep me going at all is that I want to help good people and harm bad people. Look into
effective altruism. It is very similar to what I mean to dedicate the time I have left to doing.
Helping people is better than sex. Actually, it is.
Intelligent people don't need to have societal status or to drive a flashy vehicle or to impress normal people AT THE FUCK AT ALL
You would be shocked and amazed at the level to which that goes, too
Me, I always thought I just wanted to be financially comfortable, but now? I want to be FILTHY FUCKING WEALTHY AND AS POWERFUL AS I CAN POSSIBLY BE because I want JUSTICE and I will be inspiring others who are wealthy to put their MONEY behind where their MOUTH IS
I get so sick of talkers runnin' they mouth about shit they should never speak on
Playing the save the world role when they ain't doin' shit
Real talk
