What IQ do you think is needed to learn machine learning?

I've taken some online tests (they correlate .822 to the WAIS-IV), and my matrix reasoning is sound, but when it comes to analogies and vocab, I suck at them, and my overall score (g score) falls in the 105-110 range, and my matrix reasoning is in the 125-130 range. What the fuck should I do. I'm okay at math and I want to be a data scientist. Should I just give up and be a web developer? Or even worse... a wagecuck

IQ literally means nothing, you could pull any random African, a 70 year old, and teach them machine learning with the right incentive.

You cannot pull a random 80 IQ African and teach them machine learning, lmao. That is like saying you can turn them into a statistician. I just worried that if I do get a job as a data scientist, I have any trouble on the job solving any tasks at hand.

Is this book enough to get me started on machine learning?

idk this book but contents seem solid
my rec is to quickly go over the kaggle tutorials just to learn how to use sklearn models just to get a taste, maybe participate in some easy competition, after that you can study machine learning properly with the right motivation

First of all. The Africans doing this machine learning are certainly not 80 IQ. Secondly, journalists are overhyping useless things as always.
