“Regression results suggest no statistically distinguishable relationship between IQ scores and wealth. Financial distress, such as problems paying bills, going bankrupt or reaching credit card limits, is related to IQ scores not linearly but instead in a quadratic relationship. This means higher IQ scores sometimes increase the probability of being in financial difficulty.”

Notice how I cited a source, that’s intelligence. Not just decided I was wealthy and therefore inherently smarter. That’s ignorance.

Your own source says

>Previous research, discussed below, has investigated the relationship between intelligence and income and found individuals with higher IQ test scores have higher income.

and my comment says

>there's plenty of evidence on IQ heritability and correlation with income.

>Notice how I cited a source, that’s intelligence. Not just decided I was wealthy and therefore inherently smarter. That’s ignorance.

Huh?
