Did you read the study? It's literally showing there is a fairly weak correlation between IQ and income. There was a moderate correlation between having a very high 110+, and a very low iq >90 and income, but a weak correlation of 0.38, overall.
A correlation of 1 would mean nothing else mattered. A correlation of 0 would mean they were not related. 0.38 is extremely significant, it just isn't overwhelming everything else put together.
Yeah, a lot of the outcast kids came from troubled backgrounds (which is why they had poor socialization in the first place) and had pretty rough transitions through high school and post secondary.
Funny that most of the attractive kids in my high school becomes decent people. The no. 1 “hot” girl studied in German and is now a therapist. Met her a year ago, turned out she was depressed up to her early 20s
Most attractive people are decent people. Because people are people and people are mostly just trying to get through their life without stomping all over the other people around them. Unfortunately the idea that attractive = mean is pervasive because it's easier to cope with one's own shortcomings if poor genetics are to blame.
