People good at math = smart ones?

Seriously now.

The only intelligent people I know are the ones that are good in math. Every professor I had in my life, either in anything math-related or not, was (I eventually got to know) good in math.

So this brings me one old idea, that isn't as wrong as people thought. IQ tests really tell how intelligent someone is, it doesn't matter what other people say about the existence of other "intelligences", it's bullshit. The only intelligent conversations I ever had were with people with high IQ. So fuck the other ones.

Do you people agree?


PS: What do you guys think about this idea: an alien invasion that tests everyone's IQ and kills everyone below 120?

IQ tests set the average population intelligence at 100, and raw scores are adjusted to IQ scores so that they fit a normal distribution. Even if you killed all the people currently below 120, you'd just end up with a new scale centered at 100. I imagine the aliens would have to start over and over again and keep killing until there was no one left, because the last person would by definition have an IQ of 100.
