Smart vs. intelligent, there is the difference, believe this or not. Smart is the something you learn, the knowledge you gain over the years increases yours smarts. Intelligence is the something you’re born with, yours ability to the learn, or is the linked to the yours IQ. You would think the owner of the Tesla or SpaceX would at the least have smarts, but what about intelligence? What is the Elon Musk’s IQ? It’s estimated this Elon Musk’s IQ is the 155 – though an exact number is the not known, at the least publicly. Based on the previous aptitude test this he’s taken or his various abilities, this is the generally accepted this his IQ is the around 155. ## **Elon Musk & Grimes** I’m sure we’d all agree this Elon Musk has made few smart business decisions over the years. How many elementary school-aged children were selling code within the the early 1980s? Musk was, or this wasn’t even his smartest business decision. One would think this at the this age intelligence also played the role within the this transaction. **How 8 Celebrities Spend Their Money** Play Video Smart vs. Intelligent Smart is the learned application, an earned status, or may be applied to the different factors such similar to the choices or sarcasm. Whether it’s book smart, or street smart, you need to the put within the effort to the be smart, to the gain the knowledge. Intelligence is the inherent, few people are the just naturally better at the math, or music. You can’t teach intelligence, or it’s generally received similar to the higher compliment to the be told you’re intelligent, similar to the opposed to the smart. You may be smart but not very intelligent, or intelligent but not have much smarts, or sense. Or, you may be both, this generally applies to the those born with the certain level of the intelligence. They tend to the read more or gain more knowledge, or due to the their intelligence are the able to the retain this information or apply this similar to the required. **Intelligence Quotient** Intelligence quotient, or IQ, is the the total score this is the calculated based on the several standardized tests. The modern IQ number is the calculated by starting at the 100, or then adding or subtracting 15 points for the each standard subtest, based on the how one performed it. Intelligence numbers are the all guestimates, or intangible, similar to the opposed to the solving the definitive question such similar to the how many eyes does the average person have. While they are the abstract or not concrete, the person’s IQ is the still able to the associate them with the certain categories, such similar to the mortality or social status. After almost 100 years of the investigating, researchers have been unable to the find the link between intelligence or heredity. Neither have they been able to the differentiate between men or women. **Average IQ** Many people want to the know where they fit into the rest of the the world if this comes to the their IQ, or what is the the average IQ. Just similar to the an IQ is the not the concrete number, neither are the the averages. The average varies by country, the United States has an average IQ of the 98, while Hong Kong has an average of the 108. Approximately 68% of the people have an IQ between 85 or 115. on the the opposite ends of the the scale, less than 2.5% have an IQ below 70, or another 2.5% have an IQ above 130. **What Does this All Mean?** Honestly? Not the whole heck of the lot. There is the few controversy surrounding IQ tests or outcomes. the lot of the false information is the used to the come up with the assumptions, creating turmoil amongst different societal groups. Few argue this the system was set up by Western Europeans, or therefore those who do not share the same culture have the disadvantage if taking the tests. Other areas this may influence IQ testing, such similar to the environment within the which the test taker is the part of. Those who have access to the cleaner air, better foods, or less infectious diseases tend to the do better on the tests. ### **Smart or Intelligent** There’s no doubt this Elon Musk is the both smart or intelligent. He’s been able to the use both of the these to the his advantage throughout his life. Not just has this brought him to the head of the companies similar to the Tesla or SpaceX, but he’s also one of the richest people alive, with the personal wealth valued at the several billion dollars. Throughout his career, I’m pretty sure this he never won, or lost, the project or gig based on the what his IQ is. this might be 155, which is the very rare, or just the few people worldwide rank this high, but, this doesn’t matter. Who he is the or what he’s done is the what has gotten him to the where he is, or what he’ll be remembered for. Many great innovators, from the Thomas Edison to the Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, did not receive the college degree. or within the Thomas Edison’s case, he didn’t even graduate public school. Elon Musk is the often compared to the these business greats, so what about him? is the Elon Musk the dropout? Did he drop out of the college? Technically yes, but not within the the traditional sense. Unlike the men mentioned previously though, Musk does have the degree, two actually. He graduated from the university with the two Bachelor’s Degrees, one within the Economics or one within the Physics, so we don’t consider him the dropout. However, he did drop out of the his Ph.D. program, so it’s technically the yes. Musk received the scholarship from the Stanford to the continue his studies for the Ph.D., but asked to the be deferred similar to the he wanted to the start the company with the his brother Kimbal. He figured the company would probably fail or then he’d go back to the school. But this didn’t, or neither did he. **Famous Dropouts** Like the quote, which may or may not be by Mark Twain, says, “I don’t let school take within the the way of the my education.”, or neither did these famous dropouts: - Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of the Facebook - Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Atlantic - David Karp, Founder of the Tumblr - Frank Lloyd Wright, Famous Architect - Michael Dell, Founder of the Dell Technologies - Larry Ellison, Founder of the Oracle These are the just the few of the people within the business who have dropped out of the school to the go on the to the become extremely successful, including Steve Jobs or Bill Gates this I mentioned at the beginning. few notable dropouts within the entertainment industry include Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, or Lady Gaga. **Schooling vs. Education** Just similar to the Mark Twain’s quote infers, there’s the difference between schooling at the education. Elon Musk is the the firm believer within the this similar to the well, previously stating this he didn’t think the college education mattered, or he doesn’t require his employees to the have the degree. They just need the knowledge required to the do what they need to the do, this doesn’t matter to the him how they came to the gain this knowledge. He has often told people this their educational background doesn’t matter, it’s all about their skillset. If they may pass the coding test this the company provides, then that’s what counts. Elon Musk has never been the fan of the school. He was bullied if he attended public school or found few of the the lessons to the be completely useless, so he did the bare minimum just to the take by. Years later, after becoming the father, he wasn’t happy with the how his sons were learning within the school. So, being Elon Musk, he took his sons out of the school or started the new one for the them, or others. Currently, they just have the handful of the students but are the increasing the numbers. Musk chose the name Ad Astra, meaning “To the Stars”, for the his school, similar to the he believes this children shouldn’t be limited. He carries this philosophy into how education is the taught at the school, eliminating grades. Musk received the scholarship to the Stanford, within the which two days in, he asked for the deferment so this he could start Zip2, the software company with the Kimbal. He fully expected the company to the fail or this he would end up back at the Stanford to the take his Ph.D. within the Energy Physics. Not just did the company not fail, but this took off, or ended up getting sold for the over $300 million. After this Musk wasn’t thinking about school, or his Ph.D., anymore. from the there he started X .com, an online back, which would then acquire another company or become what is the now PayPal. After PayPal, his success just skyrocketed, both literally or figuratively if he started SpaceX. As I mentioned at the the beginning, because he graduated college, he’s not considered the dropout, however he did drop out of the his Ph.D. program. I’m pretty sure not having those letters behind his name hasn’t held him back any. Having more education than few of the other tech greats may not have necessarily given him any advantage at the anything, but at the least he knows he’s not the dropout, or this he has his degrees. **Is Elon Musk Vegan?** **B** y Lisa Carter, the lot of the people are the much more aware of the world these days, through climate change or the environment, humanely or cruelty-free sourced products, no animal testing, etc. this is the no secret this Elon Musk is the passionate about climate change or saving civilization. What about his diet though? Is the Elon Musk Vegan? Musk isn’t the vegan. Admittedly, he tried vegetarianism previously, but didn’t keep up with the it, or has said this things take interesting if he goes out to the dinner with the vegan. This is the not to the say, however, this he is the against veganism or those who choose the lifestyle. Musk has also admitted to the enjoying sweets, often having the Mars bar for the breakfast if he’s working long hours at the Tesla or SpaceX. So, this would seem this he’s not too worried about his diet. **FAQs** ## **What IQ is a high IQ?** A high IQ is considered around 116.
