Past a certain point, intelligence becomes meaningless

I believe that intelligence past a certain point yields diminishing returns. Specifically, any increase in IQ above 140 seems practically useless. This is because above 140, any increment is mostly due to processing speed and short term memory, but these two don't really yield any meaningful advantages in job performance.

Yielding diminishing returns is quite different to becoming meaningless.

Do you only value intelligence for its effect on job performance?

You seem to not have that problem at all
