While I'm sure Shimomura is a genius, however you define that, I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see another post about IQ on Quora. If IQ truly even measured raw intelligence, that doesn't get you very far in life. To do anything with that intelligence you need to put in a lot of effort and this requires things like time management, stress management, discipline, focus and drive. I'd rather bet on the person who is high in those 5 attributes I just mentioned but with an average IQ over someone with high IQ but who is only average on those 5 attributes.
