The second paragraph puts into words something I’ve noticed but not really mentally formalized before. Some anecdotal evidence from my own life in support of the claims made in this paragraph: I’ve met individuals whose tested IQ exceeds those of other, lower but not much lower, IQ individuals I know who are more educated / trained in epistemological thinking and tangential disciplines. For none of the individual-pairs I have in mind would I declare that one person “ran circles around” the other, however, the difference (advantage going to the lower but better “trained” IQ individual) in conversational dynamics were notable enough for me to remember well. The catch here is the accuracy of the IQ claims made by some of these individuals, as some did not personally reveal their scores to me.
