\n

On an episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed that he scored almost full marks on a childhood I.Q. test. Without giving too much detail, the I.Q. test was designed to measure verbal and mathematical comprehension. Musk has often framed his success in the context of his childhood, implying that on some level he was predisposed to become an inventor and a tech entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

I.Q. tests measure cognitive function, problem solving, and abstract reasoning skills, and provide valuable insight into an individual’s capacity to think both logically and creatively. Skills such as analytical thinking and language capacity are essential in both of Tesla and SpaceX’s success. Musk has a constant thirst for knowledge and, both while working and studying, he dives deep into the details of any project. He knows this is essential to maximize productivity and produce the best possible outcomes.<\/p>\n

\nExperts assert that high I.Q.s can provide substantial advantages, enabling entrepreneurship and creative thinking which, in turn, can improve career prospects. Even with a high I.Q. score, however, individuals need the ability to manage their emotions and to react constructively when faced with unexpected and complicated issues to be successful.<\/p>\n

From a young age, Musk has proven to be ahead of the curve in problem-solving and abstract thinking. His father, Errol, who moved to South Africa from Canada in his late twenties, taught both Elon and his brother to play chess and provided instruction and resources to help them think analytically. Musk has credited the game for allowing him to develop his analytical skills, so it should come as no surprise that his I.Q. test scores were so impressive.<\/p>\n
