the one think i learned is that more intelectual people (bigger iq) are happier because lets say they have the brains to solve there problems while non-intelectual (lesser iq) dont have that ability.

Really?   I've usualy read the opposite.

That smarter people are generally prone to being unhappier.... however, if you personally are Happy.  Your smarter then Unhappy you.  Though I could be wrong on that.

 

Also, ironically, smart people are more likely to commit "bias errors."

in that they are more likely to quickly answer a brainteaser wrong.

well think of it this way ..the lesser the iq lesser problems solved. you cant have an iq of 70 and know whats wrong with you especialy when its something more of a complex problem. yes the same could happen to a genius but he will figure it out sometime... I mean faster and then he can solve other problems..

 

then again maybe thes smarter ones are unhappier in some cases because they realize in what kind of world they live in...but thats just generaly speaking.

my take on this is they need to find a match someone who doesnt get lost or tired of their way of thinking. usually women dont like that kind of talk (philosophically) simply because they cant take it its to much for them and its annoying their brains get tired.
