It's worthwhile to google for "highest IQ in America" and then check these guys out on YouTube. When I did this I found they were palpably no where near as smart as say, W.O. Wilson or Richard Feynman. Perhaps IQ tests don't measure wisdom and you need a bit of both to be effective? Not sure.
It bothers me when anomalies related to IQ and relative ability are so readily dismissed as a discrepancy of “talent” as if hand-waving towards some black box provides any substantive meaning. Do we really understand talent, or is it just indicative of shortcomings in our current methods of measuring intelligence?
