RE: Talent and IQ ...Part 1 - The Resentment of Talent ...lets meander...

IQ is only one metric of intelligence . (The only one that is actually measurable with any degree of accuracy).
I'd say common sense is a lot more valuable than any high IQ.
Emotional intelligence is the postmodernist idiocy of trying to 'level the playing field' against IQ. IQ is measurable, EI - not so much, if at all.

I'd prefer my 'commons sense level' to be increased if the cost was 10 or 15 IQ points - without shadow of a doubt.(and I'm not entirely without some of it, already).
