'Only losers care about their IQ'

  • Stephen Hawking

This feels a lot like pretty people saying that looks don't matter all of a sudden.

I wonder if there's a relation with people saying that what they have is not valuable.

Don’t confuse IQ with intelligence.

There is definitely a correlation with measured IQ and "intelligence", but measured under a very narrow lens. There are too many ways intelligence can manifest for such a test to measure in an unbiased fashion.

I do not.

But a quick search online says that Stephen Hawking had an IQ of 160.
