I may have come to a realization I'd like to share.
I have been trying to come up with a solution to people who struggle with self discipline. They ask me "how" they can stop caring what others think, or "how" they can stop being lazy, and I think I understand the problem.
You need to develop the ability to envision the goal to stay motivated, which requires abstract thinking and the ability to have an internal model of the world.
This requires an IQ above 100.
Is weakness a product of IQ?
@Tfmonkey it’s hard to say. I was “gifted” back in school (in the good way) but I can still plow through a bag of Reese’s when stressed or angry. I think impulse control is really needed. Also people have weaknesses/habits that can take over. It really is not a question of IQ, in my opinion. It’s an internal dialogue and rationalizing bad behavior. My $0.02.
