Nowadays the military is testing for intelligence and this little thing they call perseverance - apparently these two factors tend to separate the successful from the less successful.

I also thought that the original iq-test guy, Terman, really was confounded by his test subjects - he followed them throughout their lives, many of them failed to live up to their 'numbers', and many scholars and scientists have puzzled over this ever since.

To answer the original question, no, no one can tell you what you should think.
