People with low IQ are 10-15 times more likely to be in poverty then those with high,very high iq’s.

I agree that common sense dictates that higher IQs should lead to higher income as a rule. And I used to believe this until I read a few studies that contradicted this notion. The evidence at the bottom of that Wiki entry on siblings is persuasive, I’ll give you that. The problem is that there’s a lot of evidence both supporting and debunking the positive correlation between IQ and “success.” And, frankly, I’m not sure who’s right on this issue. So I’ll give this to you: you may be right that IQ and success are correlated. But I don’t know if we’ll ever have completely conclusive evidence.
