I might be splitting hairs, but I think having a driven personality is separate from intelligence. There are studies that suggest that higher IQ people tend to be more, not less moral, so I am not sure it's about making the right choices (assuming right means moral). My wife is a doctor, and one thing I learned while she was going to med school is that doctors are not particularly smart, they are just really hard workers. I think this holds true for many of these higher tier professions. From what I've read about IQ, you do need a certain level of intelligence to do well in memory based field, like doctors and lawyers. They need to know a lot of information, and they need to be able to pack it in over a relatively short period of time, and you can't do that without above average intelligence. However, this level of intelligence is not insanely higher than the general populace. Anywhere from 115-130 is high enough to be proficient in almost any field. I use the following as a general guideline, but, like all things generic, doesn't encapsulate any person fully; there are always exceptions:
I am certain the above is flawed in some way. It's been years since I was really interested in IQ, so a lot of this is from memory. Also, like I said above, these are generalizations and won't apply to everyone. If I needed to make a bet on how accurate my assessment was, I'd be reluctant to put down any money, so take it with a grain of salt. I have adopted this metric in my personal life, though, and I feel like it holds up relatively well. |
