Understanding the Relationship Between IQ and Character Flaws

Chapter 1: The Conundrum of High IQ and Low Truth Value
Why might an individual with an IQ of 160 engage in scientific work that holds minimal truth value?
A more intriguing question arises: can this person recognize that their scientific contributions reflect only a fraction of truth? Furthermore, what does it feel like to be perceived as insincere? Does their astrological sign—Pisces—hold any relevance in this discussion? The crux of the matter, I propose, lies in character.
What does "character" entail, and why does it hold more weight than IQ? This individual's soul correction is identical to mine: "Forget Thyself." Is deception a facet of my own soul correction? This notion of soul correction functions like a machine with inherent character flaws, with lying being one such defect.
Section 1.1: The Dangers of Superiority
The number 34, associated with "Forget Thyself," often believes itself to be superior. Its primary behavior is condescension—looking down on others with disdain. This sense of superiority is addictive and can overshadow the pursuit of truth. I speak from experience as a 34; I have battled this addiction for nearly two decades, only realizing its existence about 20 years ago.
Today, I often find myself self-correcting, admitting when I’ve made exaggerated claims by saying, "Oops, that was a lie," before proceeding with what is truthful. This approach allows me to manage the machine that is my character, recognizing that while I cannot control the machine itself, I can influence its output. Condescension and superiority are outputs that can be caught and corrected.
Since I have significantly reduced my tendency to lie, I have noticed a boost in my productivity. I am not defined by my machine; even when it misrepresents the truth, I can correct myself. Now, let's shift focus to individuals embodying the 25's—those whose soul correction might be characterized as "speak your mind" or "stop lying."
If 34's are prone to deceit, the 25's are even more deceptive. Notice the emphasis on "LIE." While 34's are often aware of their dishonesty, 25's frequently convince themselves of their own fabrications, leading to a lack of effort in their endeavors. Many individuals I know who identify as 25 have relied on others to achieve their success, as their character machinery often prevents them from taking responsibility.
Section 1.2: The Popularity of Deceit
A key reason why many books on numerology and psychology lack high truth value is their fear of stating facts bluntly. The truth is often unpopular, and flattering others tends to pay the bills. For instance, telling someone outright that they are a liar rarely wins popularity contests.
The individual who pointed out my own dishonesty a decade ago demonstrated remarkable character by prioritizing service over popularity. Lying isn't exclusive to 34's and 25's; it’s a common tactic for gaining unearned advantages or evading consequences. British journalist Leslie Ian even penned a book titled "Born Liars," which delves into this subject.
The stark contrast between 34's and 25's is that while 34's are aware of their lies, 25's often believe their own narratives, diverting their energies toward unverifiable aspects of life, particularly the spiritual realm. Unless caught in their deceit, many 25's go unpunished throughout their lives.
Chapter 2: Insights into a Misguided Scientist
The first video discusses hypothesis testing related to IQ and lead levels, which aligns with the themes of truth and deception in scientific practice.
Returning to the topic of the scientist: he began his career as a white hat hacker—an occupation that thrives on deception, as these individuals simulate crimes, often for financial institutions. They enjoy the thrill of being perceived as criminals without facing significant repercussions.
This role suits a 34 well, as their capacity for seamless lying is advantageous. Transitioning into the field of brain science, this individual now teaches creative writers, yet operates with merely 10% truth value in his work, suggesting a heavy reliance on fiction. As a 34, he is acutely aware of this deceit and finds satisfaction in it, which further fuels his feelings of superiority.
The second video addresses homework solutions in mathematics, highlighting the importance of clarity and truth in academic endeavors.
Despite his ability to articulate complex ideas rapidly, does he experience genuine happiness? No, as glee is not synonymous with true contentment. Does he maintain deep, meaningful relationships? Likely not. My assertion is that character is more vital than IQ when it comes to achieving happiness and fulfillment.
Why is this?
I propose that each person comprises two selves: one for public perception and another for private understanding. These two often stand in contrast. Additionally, a third aspect exists—often referred to as the North Star, or conscience—exists to guide one's actions. This inner voice knows your true self and how you should behave, creating a dynamic tension that, unless harmonized, inhibits happiness.
When one is capable of self-love, they cultivate a love for their life. This is where character outweighs IQ. Over the past two decades, I have made numerous minor adjustments to my behavior, and with each change, my self-acceptance has grown, enhancing my overall enjoyment of life. Currently, I assess my integrity at about 70%.
When lies stem from the machine, it indicates a lack of awareness. If one recognizes the deceit but does not correct it, this reflects a character flaw. Can individuals with low IQ experience happiness? Yes. Can those with high IQ achieve it? Not unless they cultivate character alongside intelligence.
What should you take away from this discussion?
Understanding your soul correction—essentially your character machinery—can provide insights into your behaviors, helping you take responsibility for your actions. Your soul correction number, a two-digit figure, reveals much about you. The component numbers that make up this figure offer further details.
By gaining a deep understanding of your Dark Side, represented by your soul correction, you can formulate effective strategies to outsmart the machine and harmonize your inner selves, leading to greater self-love and life satisfaction.
Seek to calculate your Soul Correction if adjustments have been made to your genetic expressions. This understanding is crucial for your ability and willingness to embrace your responsibilities and achieve a fulfilling life.
Interestingly, individuals who feel trapped in unproductive, miserable lives are often less inclined to accept the transformative potential of these genetic adjustments. Recently, I had a dramatic discussion with three individuals, each representing different soul corrections, which illuminated the shadow self and the underlying challenges we all face.
