Any Average IQ folks here with high Income?
I was reading this paper here and found this graph to be very interesting.
Although we see a slight linear increase, there seems to be
quite many folks in the upper left quadrant, folks under 100IQ making good money. This paper was from 2007 IIRC, so that money now, adjusted for inflation is even higher. This made me curious, are there any folks here who have an average/low/slight high average IQ and also make 6 figs+? If so:
- What do you do?
- Your age
- Your income
Ideally, I want to see responses from people in the 95-110 IQ range and make over $100k USD
I know two of my friends who I estimate to be around 105-115, all make between $85-$115k. I estimate that for various reasons; their SAT score, Their performance in school and the amount of time it took them to complete their schooling. One of my other friends, works as Blue collar and makes closer to $165-$180k+, especially with the new overtime tax laws.
I am working in stem, so I am around quite a few high IQ people, the way some of them operate is honestly in a different realm, and I can see how they usually end up making the most money. This is given but I am also interested in other folks who have slightly average/lower average IQ and still succeeded. Corporate America, contrary to belief, in my opinion still does reward hardwork/networking, and I do think there are some people in higher management who probalby clear 200k+ that would fall in this upper left quadrant. Ideally I am looking for folks who have some sort of tested proxy to IQ (OLD SAT, AFQT, AGCT or GRE etc)
