Agreed. IQ is a terrible method of evaluation also. For instance, if you practice taking IQ tests, I guarantee you will get better at answering those questions. Even if you gauge only the first attempt, how do you know their daily job wasn't very similar to those exercises. In fact, IQ tests are very much like building software to only work in one architecture and then hoping it applies to others. It really only judges speed and word/number pattern recognition. This encourages short cuts and is hardly applicable to any practical situation.
