Revelation



Overheard on the interwebs: "Jordan Peterson once said, he was in the 99.9% percentile for intelligence, rated by language ability. I don't doubt it. Then he said he was never went past high school math. I was a bit surprised, because I'm not in his league for cleverness, yet I had no trouble moving beyond high school math. Then Dr. Peterson said, the higher the IQ, the more uneven it is spread across it's components. Meaning very smart people like himself, might be extremely clever in some ways, but not that bright, in others. That made sense."

The main take away: "The higher the IQ, the more uneven it is spread across it's components."

Bingo. Explains a lot of things, tbh. For instance, that books written by MENSA members are usally below midwit level!
