Well no, someone with 120+ IQ is going to be disadvantaged against a 100/110 IQ person who understands how to lie or knows how to play the job game. Those are two separate and unrelated functions. Similarly, someone can be incredibly good at solving math puzzles, but unable to pick apart linguistic puzzles or define requirements.
Someone who can perform well on the SATs is more a proxy for wealth and time as a correlation for ability to study, free time to study and lack of outside factors to interfere with studying. This also includes the ability to hire tutors for the SAT and the fact that those that do end up taking the SAT can be seen as having survivorship bias in the first place.
As an aside; the fact that this article quotes Jordan Peterson as an 'expert' on IQ seems like a funny joke.
