After reading the chapter, The Trouble With Geniuses, Part 1, I would have to agree with the statement that communities and companies are often convinced that those with the highest IQ levels are bound to have the greatest potential. Much of society seems to have this assumption that someone who is exceptionally smart will have a higher chance of becoming successful. In today 's modern world,” Schools have programs for the “gifted”. Elite universities often require that students take an intelligence test for admission.” (75) This therefore proves the theory that the world believes higher IQ levels automatically lead to success and a higher potential in reaching it.
