The role of genetic testing is probably overblown: Old-fashioned IQ tests measure the combined effects of the heritable AND the environmental AND the random drivers of IQ, and thus are probably more predictive than genotyping.https://www.newstatesman.com/2018/04/iq-trap-how-new-genetics-could-transform-education …
True, but heritability of IQ increases so dramatically with age that a genomic score at birth might predict adult IQ better than a phenotypic test at age 8 does...

I’d rather be content and happier than have a High IQ. It does seem (I’m not a scientist so I’m unsure of the research), those with high IQ’s have more rates of dissatisfaction and depression. Is that why the saying, “ignorance is bliss” rings true?

Does a persons IQ alone determine their individual and societal worth? It seems that a generation is become obsessed with the inference that this will provide a safeguard for a child’s future.

This is true, iq seems to vary a lot more at early ages. I’d like to hear more about how this contributes to crystallized intelligence and how that affects IQ scores later in life. Any sources you recommend?
