According to Dr. Jordan Peterson, IQ is a significant predictor of success. A high IQ can lead to happiness, higher income (SES), job performance, and more. Clearly, people with low IQs are disadvantaged in many ways in Singapore. While I agree that IQ is not the only factor for success, it is a key indicator that can influence your fate.
Some may completely disagree, arguing that IQ isn't important at all. However, Dr. Jordan Peterson posed a question to his former students at the University of Toronto: Which child would they rather have—one with an IQ of 145 or one with an IQ of 65? None of his students chose a child with an IQ of 65.
