IQ is not "intelligence". Low IQ closes many doors. Normal and above IQ aren't correlated with anything. For example in "Zagorsky JL. Do you have to be smart to be rich? The impact of IQ on wealth, income and financial distress. Intelligence. 2007 Sep 1;35(5):489-501." https://gwern.net/doc/iq/ses/2007-zagorsky.pdf https://gwern.net/doc/iq/ses/2007-zagorsky.pdf There is no relationship between IQ and wealth. And income after an IQ of around 100 barely goes up. About heritability, that doesn't say that if your parents had an IQ of X you will have an IQ of ~X. It says, two people with "identical" DNA will have IQs that are very similar! There's also the big caveat that many scientists think these studies have confounds that overstate the results. But even if they are real, they don't mean what you think they do.
