HIGH IQ IS ONE OF THE SIGNS OF POVERTY.

Read this only if you have stopped thinking like the average human and have started thinking like someone who has actually observed the world without illusions and “wetin them been tell me”.

1️⃣ High IQ often creates overthinkers, not executors.
Smart people see ten possible failures before they take one step. They analyse until opportunity dies. While the average hustler with half their IQ is already on their third business attempt, the “genius” is still drawing mind maps and reading another book. Overthinking is expensive. It kills action. And in the real world, action builds money, not IQ.

2️⃣ High IQ people generally don’t understand how the world works. They think society rewards intelligence. It doesn’t. It rewards usefulness, perception, influence. Markets run on human nature, not logic. So the high IQ guy sits there expecting good to come to him because he is brilliant, waiting to be “discovered,” waiting for someone to value their brilliance. Meanwhile the less intelligent but socially savvy person is getting the bag.

3️⃣ High IQ people are bad at networking. They get irritated easily at conversations that don’t massage their ego forgetting that money lives in networks, relationships, collaboration. Money is a team sport. Isolation is a poverty trap. The smarter someone is, the more likely they prefer their own company, and the more they accidentally block the social pipeline where money flows.

4️⃣ High intelligence often creates contempt for small beginnings. Many smart people feel certain jobs or businesses are “beneath them.” They despise starting small. The irony is that almost every major wealth path begins with something embarrassingly small. The proud genius wants the billion-dollar idea or nothing. And “nothing” is usually what they get.

5️⃣ High IQ brings perfectionism, and perfectionism is poverty-friendly. A perfectionist doesn’t ship, doesn’t launch, doesn’t sell. Money rewards speed and iteration, not perfection. Perfectionists die broke while “average thinkers” ship messy versions and get rich refining over time.

Lastly, intelligence creates options, options create paralysis and paralysis creates poverty. High IQ is one of the signs of poverty. Stop thinking, start doing.


One of the most powerful invention (aircrafts) was invented by two brothers who were uneducated called the wright brothers after the professor that first started the journey gave up due to overthinking

So in otherwords we should be encouraged to be olùkus with a very low IQ for us to be like Dangote!

You are a genius!

The only part I can agree with you is that high iq people are introverts. However, the points you mentioned don't necessarily show high iq. I mean not to understand the way the world works is itself foolish. Then analysis paralysis is foolish. I mean I don't believe you're is high if you know so much that you think nothing is possible. That is not knowledge but foolishness. As per a professor being starter than someone less educated. It may be because of opportunities, lack of money or just lack of discipline. Sam altman one of the pioneers if AI has high iq. I don't think my iq us so high but I just created some new ideas in math. High iq people are not like this. I disagree. The only thing is that high iq people have bad social skills and don't know how to socialize.

Thinking like this is not a sign of high iq. Wisdom will tell you that great things start small. I was once a secondary school teacher but now I am a lecturer and I even helped someone get a research grant. I am also a known writer. I don't understand great businesses simply have to start small.
Anyone who reasons like this does nit have a high iq. Its a lie. Nature itself dies not work like this. You plant a seed and it grows. Facebook started as a college stuff.

Thank God I have very low IQ that's why I wrote the first yeye post on the thread

Over thinking doesn't create high IQ. Deep research, accumulation of knowledge and facts and some are in the genes.

Hmmm

Most of them have this illusory superiority mentality, which ends up costing them a lot of opportunities.

No one wants to associate with people who are always overestimating their abilities while disregarding others by considering them as naive and inferior.
