IQ is a psychometric number derived by a standardized instrument to measure some form of intelligence. "Boring" is a feeling that has as much to do with intelligence as all the other feelings like sad, happy, etc. "Pointless" is a value judgment you're making right here that's extremely subjective, each person can find purpose in their job if they re-frame and tell themselves a better story about it. I don't think IQ is a perfect predictor for basically anything. It's a very myopic metric that helps explain, but any statistician today is going to use dozens of variables in their model, not just one.
