One of the biggest points overlooked in this video is that too much intelligence can actually prevent people from doing big things because these people can see all possible things that could go wrong. Any big thing is done by just starting and sticking with your gut
untrue. you absolutely can train yourself to do better in iq tests(increase iq). also 100 based on a certain metric. usually uk white man avg iq. if it has different metrics, india's iq and uk's wont be a fair comparison. india has an avg iq of ~80.
In India IQ is not related to degrees. I am sorry, even most software engineering jobs in India are not truly engineering jobs. It can done by people with IQ of 90.
Interesting observation but here's a puzzle for you - are these students smart and studious because they are Indians? Or are they able to attend UK universities *because* they are smart and studious? In other words, do you think the Indian students who are NOT smart and studious would get admissions to UK universities? We have an episode on correlation and causation that will answer this in more detail - keep an eye out for it! :) - Shrikant
