You ever heard of the paradox of IQ?

IQ has about a 0.2 correlation with income. The paradox arises when you zoom out for a more macro view. National IQ has about a 0.6-0.8 correlation with GDP per capita.

Performance in class rooms is definitely an IQ thing and different view points will likely generate different sets of data.

I'm interested in seeing controlled trials on individual performance, not just observing real world scenarios.
