50 Cent's Intelligence Level

[ QUOTE ]
Really? I did not know that. Either way, my comment still stands. IQ and being successful in life don't necessarily correlate...IQ doesn't measure those things that can make someone very successful.

correlation doesn't work like that man...either IQ correlates to success or it doesn't...and research suggests overwhelmingly that it does

if your point is that it's very possible to be successful without having a high IQ, then obv. i agree

How does this demonstrate this intelligence level?

I think we're arguing two different things. I think that 50 would test poorly on an IQ test, but he obviously has enough business savvy to be successful. With that being said, I'm sure he has a million advisers telling him what to do to make the most money.

1. what does it matter how smart he is, he doesn't write his own lyrics any more/if at all?

2. even if he does, he has a formula that sells millions, it'd be dumb to change.

3. i think the correct answer is that both of your are dumb, but for different reasons.

what basis do you have for thinking he would not do well on an IQ test? the test requires very little outside knowledge, so his lack of formal education wouldn't count against him. meanwhile, he is a self-made multimillionaire AND an acclaimed (yes ok not universally) artist.

I'm just posing a simple question.

If anyone wants to see if there's a correlation between IQ and wealth, read Richard Branson's autobiography "Losing My Virginity." (It's out of print but can be found.)

1) I am convinced he wrote the book himself
2) He is not a man of overwhelming intellect. Trust me.

I do have immense respect for his attitude, work ethic, and energy.

If 50 listens to his handlers, then he's got more than enough brains.

well i'm very familiar with the inverse from personal experience, so it made sense to me

Well, I was confused enough, as were others apparently...are you asking if he is intelligent or are you asking how he would score on an IQ test? He's obv intelligent, who knows how he would score on on IQ test.
