"The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life." - Naval I've come to agree with this assessment.

  Calvin: If you could have anything in the world right now. What would it be?
  Hobbes: Hmmm.
  Calvin: Anything at all! Whatever you want!
  Hobbes: A sandwich.
  Calvin: A sandwich?!? What kind of stupid wish is that?! Talk about a failure of imagination! I'd ask for a trillion billion dollars, my own space shuttle, and a private continent! 
  Hobbes: I got my wish.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

IQ doesn’t make up anything of your personality. It’s a hotly debated measure of intellect. It being better to be a big dicked track star vs a fat genius has nothing to do with IQ as a valid measure of intelligence, or even personality as you were talking about. And is frankly really weird you brought that up.

This is so off that in W. Pauli terms, it's not even wrong. TL:DR; monkey bests fish in tree climbing contest, credits higher IQ.

TTL:DR: Bro, be coherent.
