How did this conversation become about IQ? Seriously?
Human's aren't robots in the fact that IQ does not correlate with an increased ability to perform tasks. What about work ethic? What about enjoying the niche your in? This has next to nothing to do with IQ outside the fact the someone with a higher IQ has a greater likelihood of figuring out that task faster than someone else who is passionate with a high work ethic but a significantly lower IQ.
I DO work for NASA/JPL, in part. I was a straight C student in highschool and studied Aerospace Engineering because I liked things that fly and go fast. That was it. I got a 28 on the ACT and have only been IQ tested once, in elementary school... and that was somewhere around 130. But it doesn't matter. What matters is passion and drive with a little bit of "pre-ordained" ability, so to speak.
