No one has ever been able to show that intelligence has more dimensional measures than one. Also, IQ is the best psychometric statistic that exists to predict financial success, there is no other test that correlates higher to financial success than IQ. Of course if you are intelligent, but lazy and do nothing, you will obviously fail. I am not saying you cannot be successful if you are not smart. Having a low IQ does make it more difficult to be financially successful.

I had a friend who was dyslexic, eventually taught himself to read in his late teens and obviously didn't do well in school. Became a world famous tattoo artist with his art published in books and people travelling across the planet to be tattooed by him. Another who dropped out at 14 and could never read, but could recite Macbeth by heart from seeing it performed. I've been tested a few times in my life and am always off the charts, yet spent most of my life on the street. IQ tests just one form of intelligence among many that we don't even have names for, let alone the ability to quantify.

[@zeynepterzi1302]

I have dyslexia and a high IQ. It is not about intelligence at all. It just means your brain processes certain information differently from others, and it causes you to have challenges in some specific areas but it absolutely has nothing to do with your problem solving abilities and your IQ

This really illustrates why we should all go through life NOT ridiculing people, period. We never know the situation, the conditions, the battles they had to fight and win just to be where they are. How sad it is to have someone in a position they truly struggled for, and then someone comes along and pushes them down and adds to that struggle. I don't want to be that someone, ever. We may not be at this guy's level, but I guarantee that ALL of us have faced similar obstacles in some way, at some time, to some degree, that really maybe made our eyes well up a little at the unfairness of life. We should always deal with people with this in the forefront of our approach. Build up...don't tear down. Don't be the cause of someone's despair. My hat is off my bald head to you, friend!

There's a direct correlation between IQ and social cognitive abilities. What might strike you right away is lack of shame in his expression. If a person finds it difficult to blush they're likely lower IQ. Not to be mistaken with social maturity, e.g being intelligent enough not to instinctively resort to fight or flight when your ego is challenged or you're finding yourself in an uncomfortable situation. If your citizens are of average low IQ social shame tactics isn't going to prevent them from committing crimes. Only threat of physical harm is going to deter them, which is why the criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation in some western countries don't work on immigrants.

[@zoidsfan12]

Tbh bro sometimes having a high IQ is just as bad as low IQ. I have struggled to hold down steady employment my whole life, my uncle has as well he has worked upwards of 80-90 jobs. Both of us on tested as geniuses, but both of us also are slightly on the autism spectrum and have ADHD. For us it's an issue that most jobs don't occupy us enough. Thankfully my current job allows me to read when we don't have orders coming. Because for me that's the only way I can maintain focus, by reading something during the down time and writing when ideas story ideas strike. For me as well it is the having the opportunity to read that makes me get my job done faster. In a given shift I'll usually get about 40 chapters of manga read. By being able to occupy my brain with something other than mindless repetitive action that I'm able to stay focused for the whole shift. Places that don't allow reprieves like that I always grow to resent them because I feel like I'm a replaceable cog, that the employers wants a machine not a person. But being allowed to converse with coworkers about things other than work, by being able to write, draw, or read, I feel like I can express myself and that I am being accepted by my employer, thus my productivity goes up. There's actually quite a few studies that show the more you try to squeeze 8 hours of productivity out of a worker the less you actually get, whereas when you allow for a more natural workplace balance you tend to actually get full productivity. I can confirm that with me at least balance is a must, because the more my fundamental human spirit is ground down and I'm not allowed to express myself, the more resentful and lazy I get.

IQ is only one way to measure intelligence, specifically a measure of the ability to learn, and even then it is not universally considered a good way to measure that.

I worked at a McDonald's through college. One of my coworkers had a noticeably below average IQ. She was taught only 1 or 2 positions and was still working there when I left. Everyone liked her-- she was always on time, did the tasks she was trained on well, we worked the other store positions without any complaint since she did a good job, and she was a nice lady. As long as you want to work and are a good person, that's all you need.

Worked a taco bell had a coworker that used to jazz in the Sour cream he called it jizzam I suggested he call it cuumshot

Lower IQ is actually an advantage for highly repetitive jobs. Intelligent people are terrible at them

I used to work with a guy doing marquee erection and he was phenomenal. He'd been doing the job for most of his adult life and he was one of the nicest and hard-working guys you'll ever meet. He even coped with banter pretty well. Miss that guy.

[@Camlling]

I was quite surprised how well spoken this guy is for having 70 iq. If I was just walking past this guy in public I’d have never known.

[@scruffy5812]

Usually people who are arrogant and rude have average or lower IQ. People who are humble, kind and caring have lower or astonishingly high IQ. I’m in college and this is my experience only

[@Roberto-de8xv]

It's higher than 70

[@thissunchild]

Why is it surprising that he is well-spoken? The way one speaks is very much a mimick of what one hears around them as they grow up. That's got nothing to do with his intelligence quotient.

This is the definition of humility. Thanks Mark for sharing this with us.

This dude is proof that resilience, wisdom, and hard work pay off. Good on you.

Rarely do I find inspiring videos on KZbin. This is one of them. Good on you, mate.

[@thribsilva]

You are smarter, wiser and more gentle than many, friend. Your video made me feel happy. Thank you ❤

You young man will do fine .. you’re a worker and the country needs great people like you.. god bless

No matter anyone's IQ is, this is very solid advice for anyone to follow; have a good work ethic and constantly try to improve yourself. I know it has been 2 years since this video is uploaded but I have no doubt that you are doing amazing Mark, I strive to have the same commitment and drive as you do.

[@SpaceLich-sf5zg]

You have a whole world rooting for you because of honesty and effort. This brings me joy. ❤

[@Orkeanos]

Honesty? I highly doubt that this man has an iq of 70. 70 is intellectually disabled. Like „cannot count to 100“ -disabled. It’s a show.

[@jaredxr101]

as someone who has just discovered having autism, and wondered why mundane tasks were always so much more mentally demanding to me, this video is relatable and makes me happy. IQ tests are standardized, by people, based on performance alone with a strict meter that doesn’t measure levels of awareness or specific skills. every person is different, and some have a rather specific capacity of knowledge or intelligence in fewer areas. regardless of a test, you seem like a bright fella with a great head on your shoulders. love the optimism, that goes a long way.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Exactly. IQ tests measure a very specific type of intelligence, but there are many types of intelligence. I have a friend with an IQ of 160 and she has blind spots a mile wide. Part of it is her autism, but standardized intelligence tests don't transfer to mental processes across the spectrum, just a narrow swath of it. The narrow swath that's being tested. I have a high verbal IQ (something I made up) and I can talk circles around her. Math? I give up.
