2017 Personality 21: Biology & Traits: Performance Prediction

In this lecture, I talk about the thorny problem of predicting performance: academic, industrial, creative and entrepreneurial); about the practical utility of such prediction, in the business and other environments; about the economic value of accurate prediction (in hiring, placement and promotion) -- which is incredibly high.
Intelligence (psychometrically measured IQ) is the best predictor of performance in complex, ever changing environments. Conscientiousness is the (next) best predictor, particularly in the military, in school and in conservative businesses. Agreeable people make better caretakers; disagreeable people, better disciplinarians and negotiators (within reasonable bounds). Open people are artistic, creative and entrepreneurial. Extraverts are good socially. Introverts work well in isolation. People low in neuroticism have higher levels of tolerance for stress (but may be less sensitive to real signs of danger).
Match the career you pursue to your temperament, rather than trying to adjust the latter. Although some adjustment is possible, there are powerful biological determinants of the five personality dimensions and IQ (particularly in environments where differences are allowed to flourish).

Dr.Peterson, I recently went through a journey into the underworld and managed to slay the dragon and come out with the gold. I have newfound confidence in myself, reignited my passion towards my work, and sorted out my immediate and long term future goals. My room is cleaner than ever and I couldn't have done it without the framework you provided through your lectures online. Thank you for all your hard work

At 6:08, he begins into the Peter Principle. Who hasn't had a mgr that destroyed a part of a company? If you haven't, consider yourself lucky. I have, & it literally happens like Peterson says...destruction of people's careers first & if left unchecked by the directors, utter failure of the dept as the rest leave, to be replaced by less qualified yes men so the failing mgr can feel superior to his underlings.

[@protogionlastname6003]

But what if you have low conscientiousness? You are kinda out of options then.

[@StianGrindvoll]

@@protogionlastname6003 I'm low in this too and i like what is pointed out about setting a goal that you can work towards. Some notes i took regarding this: Conscientiousness * Set up valuable goals or motivations structure for yourself. * Do micro decisions to take you towards that goal. - If a goal is good health, does eating sugar make you healthy, if no, then don’t, if yes. Then do it. Other things can be, how do you learn on a topic? How to build a tool you want to use? - Doing nothing is easier, question is what to do towards your goal. - This improves positive emotions towards your goal * Make a schedule, don’t treat it as a prison! * Take the responsibility to handle your schedule or micro decisions towards your goal. * Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? * Easy to not specify what you want, because it sets you up for failure. And no one wants to fail. * Negotiate with yourself, no need to be a tyrant to yourself. Something is better than nothing. - But not doing anything is failing all the time. Willful blindness. My own rule of thumb summary: Do something in smalls steps towards your goal, try to schedule it if possible. Exclude or include with simpler logic towards your goal. Taking responsibility towards your goal, small or big is a reward in itself, but you can always have a carrot in the end in extra. Practice makes master.

[@protogionlastname6003]

@@StianGrindvoll Thank you for thorough reply. The hardest thing seems to be setting that goal. Like who I want to be? Well hell if I know, right?

@@protogionlastname6003 Jordan has said somewhere that if you're interested enough (specifically for high openness/creative people) you'd still succeed with low conscientiousness.

To be successful - IQ - aerobic and anaerobic - Conscientiousness (orderliness + industriousness) - Create goals that you actually want and a place you want to stay away from. Who are you trying to be? - Specify conditions for failure - Family, friends, educational, time outside work - Micro-processes - Schedule - negotiate with yourself (you are an employee and a boss) - Stop wasting time - Leaving a conversation resentful means you still had something to say - Surround yourself with people you want to be - maintain relationships - Learn skills - public speaking, coding - Every time you are offered an opportunity to learn take it

[@olwethusilo7155]

😂😂😂 your a comedian it seems

[@kulak8548]

Peterson said the first thing towards which I have a strong critique. He argued, essentially, that there isn't much you can do to provide someone with more information than if you provide them a computer. I would argue that giving someone teachers would radically alter their access to information because of specializations. It is well known the effect a good teacher can have, it accelerates and improves learning more than anything else. Someone who goes to a good university is NOT operating on the same informational landscape as someone scavenging the internet. That is my contribution.

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

I'd have to disagree with that quite a bit. Even when you go to a university or college with a very good reputation, it's damn rare to find a prof who cares enough or is good enough at teaching that it would actually help you in any meaningful way. There are TONS of good teachers on the internet, and I think at the end of the day the trick is to be able to accurately zero in on the information you need. That's the problem, even though everyone has access, a lot of people don't even know how to/or are too lazy to figure out a good pathway to finding the information they need. I went to 2 different post-secondary institutions, both very reputable, but the money and time wasted on all the useless shit vs. helpful information is unjustifiable.

[@kulak8548]

I'm not saying all teachers are good, but I'm saying that a good one will do a heck of a job figuring that good pathway for you, giving you the information you need. Of course, its still leading a horse to water. I'm not saying a teacher will invariably revolutionize your rate of education, but I am saying its possible with some luck.

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

yeah I definitely agree with you there. My personal issue is that despite having had a couple of excellent teachers, I'm not sure the debt was worth it, taking into account the sheer amount of knowledge and skill I was able to gain before and after formal education without having to pay for it. I think it does largely depend on the specific type of education one is looking for though... My profession doesn't need a piece of paper to validate my skills, but I know it's different for most other fields.

[@kulak8548]

Right. It's important to remember that your experience doesn't invalidate the entire system. Although, it may point to some worthy criticisms. I totally get where you're coming from.

Thanks for putting that into perspective for me. I've always considered myself pretty bad at math, but now I realize that 73rd percentile isn't actually bad at all!

[@marcianneaikau8776]

I feel like you’ve been explaining the choice’s for joy (in a biblical way) , where were you when I needed you, to know thy self is a great start for the journey! Working on the understanding of myself is completely a very complex puzzle! Thank you for sharing your gift, you are a blessing for humanity!

[@bigscarysteve]

One phenomenon. Two phenomena. Just like one criterion, two criteria. Both derived from Greek second declension neuter nouns. I can't believe he's gotten this far without someone correcting him.

[@Subbanfan11]

Jordan seems a little out of breath. Yet another interesting lecture. I'm addicted :)

[@summersinger9405]

What an enlightening and motivational video! Motivational speakers are put to shame

[@ishmael_03]

I have worked under 4 different supervisors and Peterson is absolutely correct in that bad supervisors can cause companies to fail. To me it's a lack of common sense and math.

[@Earther94]

The only man I can think of who is (or should be) the greatest inspiration for himself. I hope you reflect on your own beautiful thoughts sir

Community colleges in USA have open admission and a very high dropout rate. Students socially passed in high school enter, many can read only at the 8th grade level and math at the 4th to 6th grade level. I know bec I tested them. This was in a state with a large minority population and minority organizations got many state legislators elected and then put pressure on the public schools to socially pass students. It began with "why arent our children graduating in the same numbers as whites". It put legislative and political pressure on the school systems to have two h.s. graduation certificates one called general and the other called endorsed...they had to find terms for the two that sounded the least pejorative they could find. Community colleges then were required fo admit anyone with either diploma to enter them. So that accounted for the very low completion rate of minority students. This of course was not good for the minorities....in effect lying to them saying yes you are ready for college level work then they couldnt read the texts. Of course those students were frustrated, could not understand why they couldnt get good grades and it caused a drop in self esteem.....it wasted taxes at the state and federal levels bec they almost all got financial aid...so resources were used up to no good effect for them. Colleges were and are happy to have them bec as long as they make it to the cut off funding date, the college gets all that extra revenue. I HATED seeing only one Black student graduating in a class of ADN associate degree nursing students year after year when I worked at a community college, but the bigger societal question was...do we want registered nurses authorized to administer drugs who cannot read and write and esp cannot do math at even a 12th grade LEVEL? Not even minorities want that to happen. Competency is competency.....if a person cannot,perform the job they cant.

[@MrBUGS713]

So it basically backfired 360 degrees to the beginning.

[@paragon1782]

This is one of the best in the class I feel.

[@daszieher]

I really enjoyed the sharing of frustration about how our economic society is organised. Managing a small sales and services company catering to the needs of large corporations brings huge frustration potential, requires nearly inhuman patience, but can be incredibly rewarding. Thank you for your insights, they are really helpful in constantly adjusting and powering through!

[@Tom-tk3du]

"Develop your skills...because wealth constitutes what you have when they take all your money away." Wow! Stunningly profound. This is one of truest statements you will ever hear in your life. There are a billion places on the internet which will give you information, some of it true, but much of it false or useless. Listening to Jordan Peterson is one of the infinitesimally few places you can gain useful and executable knowledge and wisdom. And it costs you nothing more than your time and attention.

[@Angelofexecution]

The schedule thing can be seen as less constricted too if you don't plan everything to a T. I only schedule the times I exercise and my work schedule, which I put on a separate calendar to remind myself of how I work, but the rest I schedule how I see fit. So that varies on how badly I think I gotta do laundry or sweep my floor. For things like doing the dishes, that's a daily thing cuz when you live in a small space, you gotta make sure you keep the chaos at bay, because it grows very quickly.

[@t-rizzle0509]

Hey Mr. Peterson. I don't agree with you on everything but I think you always give out great content. Very educational! especially when you talk about archetypes, movie allegory and philosophy/religion. I hope your Patreon haters don't make you stop making content. Keep on keeping on, bro.

[@gmartineza8775]

This just gives such a sense of direction that simply isn't given anywhere else (that I know of). So valuable to watch the full lecture instead of little "Jordan Peterson Inspiration | This Will Change Your Life | Make A Damn Schedule | Jordan B. Peterson" type videos

[@Milestonemonger]

Why is it the people who are already on the right track, or at least, trying to be, are listening to this priceless advice, while people who need it the most, and we all know someone like that, couldn't care less?

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

everything this guy says blows my mind

[@GeoffBosco]

Wow! His story about selling his performance tests gives real insight into his bleak-but undeniably reasonable-outlook on the risks of being a creative.

[@scinauticando]

I was waiting for this year's lecture on the topic! Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@KancerKowboy]

[@animus5975]

Man, the Zebra stripes and happiness is amazing

[@selfsorter983]

30:05 People's fundamental motivation. Wow. Just wow. Wisdom here folks.

[@mayankmudgal1728]

To those who have everything more will be given and to those who have nothing everything will be taken!! phenomenal visualization.

[@vincenzi977]

Gosh what a brilliant lecture! I'm always fascinated when I learn things from Peterson!

[@IndependentVictor]

Probably the best video on KZbin

[@Songeez]

I don't think I've seen a better one.

[@MrJamberee]

This may be my favorite JBP video. Outstanding.

[@beliasphyre3497]

This is the advice I've been looking for.

[@dougaduncan]

This might be the most important video on all of KZbin in terms of individual well-being and setting yourself up to optimal performance, while avoiding of suffering/pitfalls, in life. Watch it again, every time life throws you a curveball.

[@smallpuppy4172]

I really needed to hear the part about true friendships, it hit hard, but it was insanely useful to hear Dr.Peterson.

[@RealLeviWekesa]

Invaluable lessons in these lectures

[@mirkotomovic7012]

Are ther more youtube chanels like this one? With quality, educational and/or thought provoking original content?

Holy crap my friend, check out Jordan Peterson's KZbin channel. If you want a great introduction, watch his two appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience. Mind. Blown.

[@RandomVideosUnite]

this guy drops so many gold nuggets it's ridiculous

[@yehudah818]

I got emotional at the end. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@guloguloguy]

WOW!!!! Jordan Peterson's lectures are ALWAYS SO Fascinating, and full of interesting information, and concepts! I'm almost exhausted from trying to listen closely, and follow the flow of ideas! I feel like a Hockey Goalie! I don't dare take my mind off of the puck!.... Whew!!! .....

[@emil1950]

Amazing lecture, so much useful information.

[@bubblekeiki7395]

Again such a decent,deep and useful lecture.can't thank you enough dr peterson!

[@jamsenbanch]

Just want to take the 1000th comment to say thank you to Dr. Peterson for creating excellent content.

[@NotesForSpaceCadets]

Yes! plus video 22!

[@Smoothbluehero]

Refreshing!

[@bigadam]

1:11:30 to about 1:20:00 is great tactical advice for actually meeting goals. I often fall into that trap of vacillating between self tyranny and total self indulgence. Gotta negotiate and figure out a set of behaviors that I could actually do and find rewarding and enjoyable while I do them.

[@jaispera]

Listen once, take notes and criticize on second watch through, incorporate the third time through. Good stuff.
