It's pointless to judge an accomplished person, like a businessman or scientist, with an IQ test, because that misses the point. It's just a very quick (15 minute) way to categorize people efficiently.

So, if the army wants to determine who should be an officer candidate, or an NCO, or a radar operator, or a potato peeler, when they have 3 million men to process, it's incredibly efficient. If you are interviewing 10 candidates for a management position, an IQ test would make no sense.
