There is some cherry-picked studies and data in this without providing any counter studies, but moving beyond that, there are a few problems with the argument the author is making: 1. IQ Tests and the SAT are not the same thing. Not even close. Go try to take the sample SAT test. If it has been awhile since you were exposed to such a test you will probably need some time to get used to the line of questioning. Questions are posed and framed in a specific way and everything is geared towards testing what you have learned in school. An "IQ test" is meant to require zero past exposure to tests (though it does help if you have taken a test like that in the past). 2. "IQ tests" do not measure what the author seems to think. Modern tests are meant as a diagnosis tool and are designed accordingly. A high score is impressive, and does demonstrate cognitive ability in certain areas, but it is by no means a great predictor of really anything once you are in the above average category. 3. SAT scores do correlate to performance in college, but it is a weak correlation. SAT scores do have a strong correlation with family household income. IQ scores get higher in high wealth countries as well. 4. Colleges have a lot more data points now on prospective college students making the SAT less relevant. When college admission say they take a "holistic approach" they are telling you that they have dozens of data points that inform the decision. 5. I haven't heard of too many colleges refusing SAT / ACT scores. They say test optional. If you want to submit it go for it. If you have a 1600 on the SAT it is still going to look really good and help your chances to get into any college.
