Jordan Peterson - How Important Is Your IQ?

[Zeneta]

Stupid people can be very successful and they shouldn’t pursue careers that are open ended with constantly changing abstractions that are beyond their capacities.

If they were smart enough to avoid the constantly changing abstractions, then maybe they were mis-categorized and not really stupid to begin with.

Jordan Peterson: What Kind of Job Fits You?

He doesn’t say stupid, you are mischaracterizing what he is saying. He is saying that if you are slightly below average IQ you will have a very difficult time keeping up with the information processing abilities of occupations that involve rapidly changing abstractions, esp. those such as law, which require high verbal fluidity. He also states that it is not impossible for average IQ persons to be somewhat successful in those positions, as long as they are extremely high in conscientiousness (I would likewise add that someone high in IQ but low in conscientiousness would have a difficult time in long term success).

He is also very clear that a high IQ has absolutely zero correlation with moral wisdom, which is a fallacy that many in our culture tend to buy into.

He is approaching occupation in terms of what is most suitable to a person that will lead to the most successful outcomes, that those occupations are as virtuous as the person who occupies them, and people tend to be more happy and fulfilled with occupations that suit not only their capacities, but also their personality predispositions.

Canada has Lindsay Shepherd, a graduate teaching assistant at Wilfrid Laurier University, for bringing Jordan Peterson to greater public attention. Shepherd dared to show a Peterson video in her class to demonstrate a controversial viewpoint. After a snowflake complaint, she was strongly reprimanded for presenting something that conflicted with the standard SJW narrative. After faculty and public uproar in favor of freedom of speech, the head of the university apologized to Ms. Shepherd.

I have listened to a couple of YT rants.

Believer or non-believer?

What’s his family like.... do the kids behave?

[fungoking]

Heard a football coach tell a player who had become academically ineligible, “Son, in life you can be stupid or you can be lazy. You can't be both”.

[miss marmelstein]

Thanks for explaining. He’s pretty good; I got connected to him on Facebook after hearing he and Camille Paglia in conversation.

[Salvey]

How do his views square with people like obama, who have below average IQs, but an exceptional ability to mimic their more intelligent brethren, thus giving the appearance of having superior intelligence?

It is a 3:43 video. Can you spare the time?

[Chickensoup]

So are you saying that people with lower abstraction capacity would do better in work with concrete skills like plumbing, masonry, carpentry, trucking, nursing, etc.
