I came across this study suggesting that higher cognitive ability is generally associated with better life outcomes, with little evidence that being too intelligent becomes a disadvantage. What do you think? Is there really a point where being smarter stops helping?
Interesting! I think intelligence is generally an advantage, especially in education and work. But things like social skills and personal circumstances probably matter a lot, too.
I’ve heard people say being too smart can make life harder, but I wonder how much of that is just a stereotype. The findings here are pretty interesting!
