"Smart and gets things done"

Hunter & Schmidt 1998 [1] pretty much boils down to this. Their meta-analysis, predating Spolsky, winds up stating that the only useful thing is a combination of work samples & an IQ test. Never the order and that smells a lot like "are they smart and can they get shit done?"
