The problem with psychology in general is dimensionality. These retard consistently manage to come up with answer to everything using a 1 dimensional measurement.

Intelligence? -> IQ
Autism, adhd, etc..? -> also a one dimensional

The fact that people still believe that iq is actually worth anything is baffling. The claim to fame of IQ is its "correlation" with annual earning. If you disprove a psychologist he will use the g factor(another uni dimensional measure) argument by claiming IQ is correlated with g.These people are some of the most influential when it comes to education for example yet they lack basic statistical understanding. Most of them use excels linear regression has "proof" for there studies.

Wealth shows poorer correlation, since it depends on preexisting conditions. Income on the other hand is clearly correlated.

Maybe you arent that smart, but IQ doesnt equal success. Its all how much effort you put in.
