I don't think the existence of those correlations depends on what you think. Har har. Suggesting a correlation is a statistical hypothesis that is testable but not really debatable.

I don't think such a hypothesis is awkward but I doubt high IQ as an excellent predictor for an individuals performance in tasks that are not IQ tests. As a layman when it comes to psychology I think IQ measures some things but the way the brain works, no real world task a person does is exactly like those IQ tests.

A brain is not a CPU and an IQ is not its clock frequency.
