Being intelligent may have helped you move faster up the corporate ladder; it may even have made you rich. But intelligence doesn’t guarantee that you will be happy, says a report in the British Medical Journal.

In the study, 550 participants took the same IQ test at ages 11 and 79. As seniors, they also completed a satisfaction with life scale. The results showed that happiness late in life had no correlation with IQ. The author say that intelligence can be mixed with blessing: On the one hand, it can help you succeed, while on the other, it can make you more aware of how much you still haven’t achieved.
