Even if SAT was an IQ test and IQ was not a faulty measurement of something humans don't fully understand, it would still only show you the upper limit of someones potential, like the maximum speed of a car -- useful when driven on a racetrack not the freeway or city street -- in reality motivation to apply your intelligence in a useful way and having a personality and perseverance to acheive success, much like speed limits, other cars and road conditions are the real barrier. It's not how fast you drive, it's how efficiently you drive and work with/around others. I am glad they brought up the SAT because do they really think a student that gets a perfect score on it could have done so without years of studying (barring actual genius)? Intelligence capcity is real, much like physical strength capacity is real but just like how a female marine can outperform an average office worker in combat a well studied low-intelligence student can acheive more than an underacheiving genius. And even then, I don't get why people don't get the difference between intelligence and wisdom, without the latter you're only good for party tricks and showing off not accomplishing anything. IQ matters in that it is a bell curve distribution where the peak and tail are relevant but for everyone in between it has little relevance imo.
