Even if IQ tests measure something useful - and I'm skeptical of that - intelligence itself is far down on the list of traits needed for success.
Ambition. Confidence. Charisma.
There are probably others but the successful people I've known have those - and it's hard to tell (certainly harder then the IQ test implies) but I don't think those people were particularly smart.

Instead of analyzing the traits of successful people, we can devise and create frameworks which would help direct our efforts in an efficient manner to produce real value.
