Smart, but not rich
Study:Intelligence may not help your wallet
According to a new study done across the U.S., the highly intelligent among us aren't necessarily wealthier. While people with higher IQ scores tend to earn more, they don't always save and invest their money wisely, says study author Jay Zagorsky, a research scientist at Ohio State University.
"Individuals with higher IQ should not think that they have any particular advantage," he says.
People of below-average intelligence, meanwhile, arejust as wealthy as those in similar circumstances but with higher IQ scores, the study found.
Even among the smartest people, those with IQ scores above 125, 6% have maxed out their credit cards and 11% sometimes miss bill payments.
The study was based on data from more than 7,000 American who participated in the
National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which is funded primarily by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
and Statistics and conducted through Ohio State University.
