So we tested this with Ancient Egyptians, hunter-gatherers from iron age Siberia, 19th c Chicago factory workers and 1940s Basques, and found out that whatever IQ tests they came up with they were always useful metrics for life outcomes. Personally I especially love Ancient Egyptian IQ tests.

Yes, IQ of 115 is probably more successful than 85, but neither is GENIUS, therefore not relevant to the question.
