>We know that the single best predictor of job success and performance is IQ.

Wow, so many people react so sharply to this, I'm not sure why. May be there is an inherent belief that all one has to do is work hard and success will follow.

Minor nitpick - I think performance has a good correlational with IQ, I think less so a job, because a job also generally requires high conformity (not an enviable trait IMO)
