Both can be power-law or Gaussian depending on your “perspective”.
There are roughly as many people with a IQ over 190 as there are people with an income over 1 billion USD per annum. By roughly I mean an order of magnitude.
Generally IQ is graphed as a Gaussian distribution because of the way it’s measured—the middle of the distribution is defined as 100. Income is raw numbers.
Hmm.. Isn’t the intelligence distribution more like a bell curve and the distribution of income more like a power law?
