@"Bukowski" is very much AWARE of the importance of IQ.
I personally think it is overrated in terms of achievement and conscientiousness is more important BUT it is a very valuable asset to have.
Common COPE misconceptions about IQ:
"Jocks never have high IQ, those low inhibition slayers must be low IQ" COPE. Many NT athletic slayers are very high IQ. You think the rugby team at Oxford is low IQ? LMFAO
High IQ = High inhibition. There may be some SLIGHT truth to this but there are plenty of high IQ low inhibition party animals. I have DIRECT PROOF of this as I've been around many high IQ people from my brothers uni (highly regarded russel group uni)
High IQ= Frail nerdy weakling. COPE I can confirm after being around high IQ people of high status that they are a lot taller than average, with varying levels of robusticity, and are mostly NT.
CLIFFS: All of these supposed downsides of high IQ are mostly COPE. All things being equal (looks, height, NT) the sky is the limit when it comes to desirable IQ.

Based on data collected in 1921-22, Terman concluded that gifted children suffered no more health problems than normal for their age, save a little more myopia than average. He also found that the children were usually social, were well-adjusted, did better in school, and were even taller than average.[23] A follow-up performed in 1923-1924 found that the children had maintained their high IQs and were still above average overall as a group. Data collected in the 1920s also including a pioneering effort to implement above-level testing on a large scale, a practice that is widespread in gifted education today.[24]
