Has anyone done any studies to correlate intelligence with net worth? Since the +3 or +4 SD people usually work to satisfy their own curiosity and thirst for knowledge, I would assume that it doesn&#x27;t pay really well above a level...<p>I find it rather discouraging that mediocracy really punishes people for being extremely smart. Evolutionary punishment is decreasing their fitness (money, social stature, e.t.c.) and thus decreasing their procreation chances. Smart women are affected even more. Not to mention the intentional punishment&#x2F;oppression by different intelligence class supervisors.<p>PS: one of my favourite relevant reads: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;prometheussociety.org&#x2F;cms&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;articles&#x2F;the-outsiders" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;prometheussociety.org&#x2F;cms&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;articles&#x2F;the-outs...</a>
