Are you familiar with the term “IQ”?  The letters “IQ” stand for “intelligence quotient”, An IQ test is often used as a way of measuring intelligence.  A person who has an IQ score of 100 is considered to be of average intelligence.  A person with an IQ above 130 is deemed to be intellectually gifted.

You might imagine that having a high IQ would guarantee that a person would be very successful in life.  In fact, having a high IQ does not always lead to personal success. 

A few years ago I watched a documentary about some of the people who had the highest IQ’s in North America.

You’d be surprised to find out what sorts of lives some of these people were living.  One of the men who was interviewed had an IQ that was in the highest range of genius.  Guess what his occupation was!  This man was a motorcycle mechanic, and he spent much of his life going in and out of jail.  His best friends were bikers.

Another man on the program also had one of the highest IQ scores ever recorded.  He worked as a bouncer in a bar for minimum wage.  He lived in a tiny garage.

So you can see that having a high IQ isn’t the only answer you need to have a successful life.

No matter what your IQ score is, other qualities such as determination and vision can be more important to your ultimate success in life than the IQ number you started out with.

For example, successful people need to have such qualities as creativity, drive, and optimism.  People who want to be successful need to know when to stick to their plan, and when to be flexible.  They need to know how to get other people to support them and help them out.  In addition, successful people need to be lucky. 

Not all of these qualities required for success are linked to your IQ score.

Can you see now that having a high IQ doesn’t really guarantee that you will be happy and successful in life?  Having a low IQ doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be unhappy and unsuccessful.  You need to develop many of your inner qualities as you go through life. 

Whatever your IQ score is, don’t let it hold you back if it seems like it’s too low!  And don’t let yourself coast through life if your IQ score happens to be quite high.  Some researchers now believe that having emotional intelligence is at least as important as having intellectual intelligence.

You can always do much more to get a better performance out of the brain you have.  You can learn how to keep your brain healthy and happy. You can learn to think smarter and more creatively.  You can learn to be more focused and more determined.  You can learn from your experiences, gain wisdom, and make better choices for the future.
