Strongest predictor taken from a pool of weak predictors is still a weak predictor.

  I might be pulling things out of my ass here but IIRC the correlation is up there with that of your parents’ wealth. And in current political discussion lots of time is spent on how to deal with the latter. It may in fact still be a weak predictor, but that obviously doesn’t make it meaningless.

    IQ is somewhat inheritable as well though. Is it IQ or inherited wealth that is the factor?

      The studies account for wealth.
