A high IQ score just means you can do very well on IQ tests. There may be a correlation with native intelligence and/or academic ability, but even that’s debatable.

That came up in a college course (Sociology related IIRC) that I took as an elective. A week was spent talking about IQ tests (various types), the issue with what you are actually testing, and also some material on survey questions and how easily it is to bias those to fit preconceived conclusions.

Another reason for asshole politicians to hate secondary education. :p
