What do you have to show for your intelligence?

High IQ does not always equate to success in life. The rich people in the world do not necessarily have high IQs, half of the billionaires did not even complete high school. Rich people more than likely have average intelligence and IQ did not play a significant role in their success. Motivation, hard work, good people skills, physical attractiveness and luck plays a lot more in being successful than a high IQ i.e. the ability to retain and rote learn useless information.

nor equate inteligence.  IQ examinations only test your knowledge in certain areas that is all.  Knowing things does not makes you smart.  Knowing how to apply that knowledge in a useful and efficient way in order to have a desired result makes you smart.

Some tests don't measure knowledge at all. For example, visual tests (like the Raven's Progressive Matrices) do not depend on acquired knowledge.
