I agree with Annoyance here. My guess is that a higher IQ may help the individuals in the situations Hughristik describes, but this is not the type of evidence we should consider very convincing. In this example, I would guess that differences in the individual's desire and ability to think through the consequences of their actions is far more important than differences in there IQ. This may be explained by the incentives facing each individual.
What about the inherent incentive that motivates people even in the absence of strong external factors?
I'm not sure I understand you. Are you referring to the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation?
More like a distinction between different types of intrinsic factors.
I still have no idea what you're talking about and how it relates to my comment.
