I've known people with a whole string of nines in their
percentile IQ rating. Some were very effective and involved and
full of vision and some were as ineffectual, confused and lost
as any of those with a less lofty score. IQ simply doesn't
directly correlate with being effective or fully engaged in
life.
Does this have implications for creating a SI?
