Description

intelligence: high ability to solve problems.

rules:
1. stick to the definitions.
2. The burden of proof is shared.

IQ definitely matters, there's studies that show a correlation between IQ and educational and academic attainment. It isn't everything, you would just be wrong that it isn't a pretty accurate measure of intelligence and predictor of upbringing and later success in life, IQ tests also have many different types of intelligences they test you on in their tests.

Sorry for forfeiting. I have an argument, I simply forgot to post it in time.
