The Importance of General Intelligence in Creative Achievement

I think that it does matter, though, the dependent measure that you're what you're trying to predict. I found really interesting a paper that Colin DeYoung and I published in Journal of Personality recently showing that IQ was essentially irrelevant to predicting artistic creative achievement. That would be the stupidest thing in the world to decide whether or not to pursue art because of your IQ score. You should have him on if you haven't yet.
