    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    But that's just the point. He'd be getting paid a hell of a lot more to do something far more important and impactful on the world than just pinball. And it IS just pinball.

    My father-in-law is a Mensa member with an IQ in the 140's and has a Phd in mathematics. He was a code breaker in the military and then became a college prof teaching statistical analysis so maybe you can consider that "important and impactful" but hardly something that makes a lot of money. On the other side of that he was able to plot stock trends and was successful enough at investing to be able to travel extensively, payoff his home and retire as a millionaire at 60.

    Quoted from Det_Deckard:

    The guy is smart but I would question anybody who says a high number. In any case, I would say that most occupations and I mean 99%+ don't demand more than 130-140. Most advancements from what I have seen in engineering do come from smart people but what really made them different was how much time, energy, and tears they put into their trade.

    130-140??? I think you will find the median is around 100 and 2% of the population would be over 130 and .1% over 140.
