    Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist and tenured professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His research interests include self-deception, mythology, religion, narrative, neurosciences, personality, deception, creativity, intelligence, and motivation.
    Peterson published Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief in 1999. The book describes a comprehensive rational theory for how we construct meaning, represented by the mythical process of the exploratory hero, and also provides a way of interpreting religious and mythical models of reality presented in a way that fits in with modern scientific understanding of how the brain works.

    Some of his numbers seem a bit off. Average university grad is 115 IQ. He did say "difficult" university though so maybe I'm wrong but 115 seems plenty sufficient for that. I also highly doubt that classroom was made up of people 125-130+ like he said. These are psychology students and psychology students are on the lower end for college majors. I think right around 113-115. There are probably a few in that range but they would be outliers. 130 is pretty common in grad programs but I'm also pretty sure that the average for most advanced degree programs is significantly lower than 130. I think it's typically around 120-125 unless you are doing something like physics which is in the 130-135 range. I pulled these numbers from an actual study on the matter.

      Depends on scale.
      Converted to the "old" SD=24 used in North America it's more along the lines of 125 (124 for sigma 1) instead of 115 (in SD 15), so it lines up a bit better with what he says. Also with the 145 being at the level of being able to do "whatever he/she wants", so sigma 2 basically 130 in SD=15 and mildly gifted level.

      he said read instructions and follow them what's different than just receiving instructions verbaly. So you obviously made an unintentional point there regarding your IQ and processing information. Also he said earlier that someones abilitys peak in certain areas. He actually said it for the higher IQ people but it's also true for lower IQ personalitys. So you might also be an "expert" in understanding instructions but maybe lack the ability to execute them properly even if they would usually suite your IQ.

    @jakebryant7658 Рік тому +3

    I think Dr Peterson is spot on. I’ve notice a number of these comments saying that IQ is not necessarily a great predictor of intelligence.
    From what study I have done (some but not much) on intelligence, Dr. Peterson is quite accurate. What I notice some conflating though is the relationship of intelligence to competence in different fields. If an 80 IQ person and a 130 IQ person both became welders together, the point to be made is that the 80 IQ person would likely need to exert greater effort and time to become skilled whereas the 130 person likely would not. This does not mean the 80 cannot be good at the job, obtain wisdom, or gain a similar level of competency. It simply seems to refer to capacity. When the 130 reaches competency faster, there is a time differential created. While the 80 is still becoming competent, the 130 has moved on to mastering a new level of competency.
    I think the problem we tend to have with this is in perspective. We somehow view this as a detriment to the 80, an unfairness. However the same argument might be said of the 130, that the 130 has received an unfairness beneficial to him. That’s the state of nature. It’s not rewarding or punitive, it just is. IQ can measure potential and capacity, but it does not measure the ability to be good. If the 130, having greater capacity and a sharper mind, uses that intelligence to abuse the 80, then you’ve created an unfairness, not based on IQ but based on an immoral choice. Likewise, if the 80 chooses to abuse the 130, then the unfairness is the immoral action against the 130. My point is that intelligence levels are not something inherently inequitable. It is merely a state of being. Inequity is a distinctly human phenomenon arising from moral choice and a sense of justice.

    I'm not sure about this whole thing.
    I like JB Petersons lectures, they're very eloquent and interesting, even if I don't always agree on what he is saying.
    What I wanted to throw in as a counter argument (it's anecdotal reference; still I think it warns in an efficient way of not getting to self-absorbed about ones IQ) is that I worked with lot's of people from different school-systems very well together at an ambulance station without noticing, what Peterson referred to as a "90-IQ-person".
    Where I'm from (Germany) it's a three-way-schoolsystem "Gymnasium", "Realschule" and "Hauptschule".
    I went to the first one (the "highest" of the three) and got the admittance to study at University.
    Still I had a lot of people at work, who went the third or second way and most of them were decent people and not that different from me to be honest.
    You could tell, that they were not as good in maths or spelling (making more mistakes or taking a bit longer), nonetheless they worked just fine if not better sometimes than me (usually in the physical stuff, "Hauptschule" tackles much more physical exercises than mental abilities like mine).
    I think it really depends. They will certainly earn lesser in general (statistics show that). I'd just also add, that lot's of low-payment jobs are actually very important jobs.
    A house, medical care by a nurse, kindergardeners etc. take a higher significance in my mind than someone on wall street (e.g.).
    And if I consider the energy and hard work put in and needed for the job of a paramedic (physical labour, quick thinking and acting, social skills and psychological resilience for the hard cases, having night shifts/ uncertain work times), compared to a job at a bank (not meant to completely tear down this kind of work, it has it's purpose and merits), where you get regular work times and lot's of standard procedures plus better payment I bow my head to my ex-fellow paramedic colleagues 🙏.
    I think we should look at success and intelligent (behaviour) a bit differently.

    • @sirrantalot9009
      @sirrantalot9009 4 роки тому +1

      I find it very weird that people set IQ equal with skill and knowledge. It shows you how easily/quickly you can obtain it, not how good you are. Someone from a Hauptschule can easily be better than you at repetitive work especially but will struggle to do so in jobs that require a lot of abstract thinking and flexibility of mind. Though if you give them enough time and the right teacher, they too will become just as skilled and knowledgeable as you are.
      Different IQ = different learning speeds which in turn can become different people but does not have to do so.
      You can have an IQ of a 160 but if you've never touched a book, that Hauptschüler will wipe the floor with you.

      It means that 85% has an IQ lower than 115, and therefore 15% has an IQ higher than 115. And the distribution is symmetrical, below 85 IQ is 15% also.

In it he postulates that the probability of remaining in intellectually demanding jobs increases by 133 and starts to decline after 140 IQ. So with that in mind it’s been theorized that most elite academic positions aren’t held by people over 2 standard deviations. So you stated the world is structured for high IQ people, that is fallacious in the sense that the rarity of an IQ over 160 makes it highly unlikely a person of this ilk will meet people on their same wave length, let alone find a partner in their same range.

      It doesn't. That's the average IQ. If someone with an IQ of 73 is in that position, well, IQ has then become more complex and not exactly as accurate as it's supposed to be.

    I'm know some of you will not believe this, but I'm in 5th grade, and I have the IQ of a post graduate (125) so anyone who says that video games are bad for you is wrong. With the right parenting, video games are a great thing to use for recreation, fun, and socializing with friends.

      I don't think age matters in IQ, you're born with it.

      I don't think you're smart enough to understand that IQ isn't affected by age
