Dale: Actually, the correlation is positive to about 130. Above the I.Q. of 130 the correlation becomes negative. That doesn't quite fit with the data I saw, but I expect the definition of "success" could easily lead to a disparity in results. Additionally, the geographical (or political, rather) region could easily influence the results - few countries have as high degree of "entrepreneurship" as the US. One limiting factor in many countries, including "mine" (Denmark), is legislatory; starting new businesses is simply too difficult with the numerous regulations and strong unions. I could easily imagine that this would tend to "quash" the creativity factor. Btw, what's considered average IQ these days? 110? 120? -fyo
