The Limits of IQ
IQ tests measure the ability to quickly understand and solve problems, focusing on pattern recognition and logical reasoning. However, having a high IQ does not guarantee happiness or success in life, as it often overlooks the importance of making wise decisions. Wisdom involves understanding the consequences of one’s actions and making choices aligned with personal values and goals. Therefore, intelligence is more about the quality of decisions made rather than just a numerical score of cognitive ability.
