Carver Bain’s Reviews > Robert Lowell, Setting the River on Fire: A Study of Genius, Mania, and Character > Status Update

I’m 18% through this and just have to comment on the author being confused that Lowell only got a 120 IQ when he was a teenager despite being considered ‘a genius’ later in life. It’s just crazy to me to see that someone so innately believes that something as arbitrary and problematic as an IQ score is a prerequisite for achievement. Come on humans! Do better!
