The article uses strange language to couch the results. Making an error isn't solving a problem at all. It should read that higher IQ leads to more reliable problem solving. Which would be less click-baity, admittedly. I understand why researchers would make the time variable the focus, but it isn't the story.
Who would you want to be your airline pilot: the person who solves 70% of problems quicker or who solves close to 100% of the problems slower? The ability to error check has a time cost but also is of infinite value for any position of consequence.
