    This is a crock, matter of fact it is better if you don't have a higher IQ as you will have a tougher way of life dealing with other people and often lack patience. I can't name one billionaire who made their wealth without dealing with people.

    Higher IQ does mean they tend to earn more money, but earning more does not necessary become wealthy, they more dedicated and focused, but often times wealthy people look at the forest and less so on each tree.

  2. Good points, over all, but there are many billionaires who dont deal with or are not good with people


    Jim Simons is one who doesn't need to deal with people, steve jobs was terrible with people, etc etc.

    Perfectly acceptable...if one is autistic, an idiot savant or a sociopath.

  5. If this article is about "high consumer" people, I can believe it.

    Now, is there more information on the people he surveyed as "high status"?

    Does this mean that if one gradually gets richer one's ideas will change ?

    You are right, most won't short the Dow but will short ES as greater volume and tick size, and they hedge.

    Yea, like Howard Schultz, you think he was thinking of hiring refuges before Starbucks?
