why IQ matter

Albert Einstein was 5 when his father gave him a compass and asked little Albert, what do you think about it son. Little Albert was amazed that the compass needle always pointed to North no matter how much you turn the god damn compass it always pointed to north. You have to remember little Albert doesn't had google or internet and yet he figured out that their must be a giant magnet inside earth and this compass is behaving according to that magnetic field. It was a common knowledge back then that this is the case but little Albert didn't knew about this but he just figure it out. Now most 5 year old are not like that. If you give them compass they will probably try to put it into their mouth and cry that it taste bad. But little Albert was no ordinary child he would go on to become the most revolutionary scientist this planet has ever seen. His theories has been used to make Atom bombs to this very screen you are reading this on. Yes, most of the technology revolution that has happened in 20th century is because of Albert Einstein. Well in one line the answer is he had an IQ of 160. IQ also known asintelligence quotient is the measure of human intellect. Less than 70 is retard and more than 160 is a god dam genius. Here is the iq graph:

For mortals like you and me we probably have an iq score of around 85 to 115. So, wait does that means that we are doomed to be mediocre in life based on our IQ score. Well, it's complicated. IQ is one of the parameter of your life very important but it is. Their are other parameters like the family you were born in, your country, and most importantly how you manage your life. You can have an IQ score of 160 but if you are playing computer games all day what's the point. Knowing your IQ matters because it can give you clear targets in life. For ex if Rahul Gandhi realize his IQ score he would probably change his target of becoming a PM. He is still a papu right?

  • IQ over 130: This is the cream, usually people with this score goes to IIT, IIM and other top institute. However, many people do miss IIT train despite having a very high IQ. Modi never went to an IIT but he seems like a man who belongs to IQ over 130. Most of the creative work in this world is done by these people, and they usually end up at the top of the ladder. If you want to create billion dollar empire make sure you have an IQ at this range. 
  • IQ between 115 to 130: These people don't run the world but they sure help a lot. Most people in this category become entrepreneur, software developer or top bureaucrat. They create small and medium industry vital for job creation.  
  • IQ between 100 to 115: People at this range do clerical jobs, work at call center, cashier, software tester etc. These are the bulk of service sector jobs, and this crowed is the most venerable to AI or automation. And you need to know your IQ if your job can be replaced in future.
  • IQ between 85 to 100: People at this range do menial jobs like delivery work, drivers, plumbers, and other working class jobs. Despite fear that these jobs might be replaced in future by robots these jobs will grow, because wages will always compete with investment in hardware. So, these jobs are safe.

The point of this article is, if you belong to IQ level of 100 - 115 you need to worry big about a computer replacing your job. In future almost all the job done by mid range IQ level people will be replaced by AI. So, what can we do? Glad you ask, people at this range should target to become small time entrepreneur & forget about getting a job. In India service sector is about to explode, demand for day care center, pet store/ care center, YouTube videos, gym, personal trainer, tiffin centers, hair salon are going to explode in coming years. Rather than hoping to get a government job or not not being replaced by AI be the master of you own destiny. Provide a service and reap benefits. You see despite your IQ our target in life should not be how to rule the world, but rather how to create a rich life.
