Success is a pretty subjective term. Some of you in here referred to having a good job as being successful, and that may be true to a point, but I see someone who runs an ongoing operation with many others and able to pay them for it as successful myself. That being said IQ has almost no impact on that after a certain level. Obviously if someone is sub 100 they wont be able to organize much, someone else will have to run it for them and i don't think that is what we are talking about here. I also believe a high iq can also get in the way of someones success for a number of reasons. Generally people with extremely high iq's have serious psychological problems that inhibit them from anything close to success. Not because they are far ahead of everyone else, but because they are too focused on that one thing or many things they are trying to figure out and lack a particular social ability to build up anything involving running a business. It think they can be capable of many important things, capable of inspiring creations but they will never be ceo, they will never be Bill Gates. Bill Gates will take their idea and build an empire, Edison will take Tesla's ideas and become one of the pioneers of the industrial revolution while Tesla dies broke and alone.
