IQ tests, SATs, ACTs, GREs they all mean jack and squat. I have a tun of friends who scored well above me on these tests but I run laps around in classes. It isn't because i study hard either. I usually end up tutoring these guys who have 30+ on their ACTs 150+ on the IQ test ect. I'm not trying to brag here at all but there is a lot more to intellengece and success then these tests can measure. For instance work ethics and motivation are two of the biggest factors of success. These tests measure neither. As a buisness owner i'd rather higher someone of average intellegnce that did the work of 3 men then a genious who hardly worked at all.
