Do you understand what non sequitur means, Witold? Can you apply it to my comments about intelligence vs. talent?
You claimed I was wrong then you posted about "spatial ability, perceptive ability & creativity". Those are traits, talents. Some people have them, some don't. There's no gene for it, probably a combination thing coupled with environment. The world's biggest dumbass could also be the world's greatest singer or painter. That is often proven by fact. The stupidity is in those who believe a person's success in one area means they are successful in all areas . This is often wrong.
Intelligence and talent often go hand in hand. A smart and talented singer will be more successful than a less intelligent but equally talented singer simply because the smarter one is better able to understand business, accounting sheets, advertising, fucking lawyers, etc, etc.
The smartness and the talent have nothing to do with each other. Just because a person has a degree and/or has a lot of money doesn't mean they are smart. Believe me, I've met plenty who weren't and I often thought they might be selling cocaine on the side because they were so fucking stupid to have been in a success in their claimed fields.
My best advice is to live life without regret. Do what you want to do when you want to do it as a starting point. Now figure out how you are going to do it. Be smart about it. Have a plan, consult others for advice. Whatever happens, if you are honest with yourself, you'll find a measure of success. There's a difference between being the best in one's field and being the richest in one's field. It's nice to have both, but I prefer being the best..with a little money to tide me over.![]()
Hilarious.
So Lawyers & Bussiness men are smart but not Artists?
Lawyers are extremely knowledgeable.
Business men are quite knowledgeable.
Both don't necessarily count as intelligence in the sense of logic, ability, creativity etc.
Although some level of organization is needed for those careers.
That's intelligence.
But, Artists typically have high Spatial IQs.
Creativity & perception ability all count as intelligence.
I have a very high spatial IQ.
As for accountants they are very good with mathematical calculations.
That's intelligence too.
Not sure about genes for talents like artistic ability.
But. All the time we find more genes. Just in the last several years it was discovered that there were genes for educational attainment.
Can't speak for everybody, but the Artistic talent in my Polish family skips around to those with Myopia.
People with Myopia do have higher IQ scores on average.
