 I will write about my opinion.
Although
 there is true that a large number of
people
 with high IQ's have successful
jobs
this
 does not mean anything. Intelligence according to books can be expressed in several ways,
however
people
 believes that being smart is having a good memory or being good with numbers,

 they are mistaken,
for example
, a good basketball player can
also
 be considered smart, maybe not in mathematics but in what he does. Decades ago a large study was published that
stablished
Correct your spelling
established
 that any action that someone did better than a majority of
people
 should be considered as intelligent on that aspect.
In addition
, let's say we define intelligence and success as having a high paying or important job, it is clear that a lot of other factors have to be taken into account, a high number of
people
 that have good
jobs
 are not smart, they just inherited them from the family, let's say a CEO of a big company that has been around decades, clearly the children will be the bosses once the father retires, without any need of being smart,
also
, politicians have good
jobs
 but we all know that most of the time they don't do a good job due to a lack of brain matter. In conclusion, while we can assume that intelligent
people
 are successful in life, there are several types of smarts that do not correlate with success ,

 some high paying
jobs
 are not related to brain capacity but to other factors, it is
irresponsable
Correct your spelling
irresponsible
 to state that only the ones with a lot of money or important
jobs
 are intelligent.
