It is not how smart you are as more of how well you recieve knowlege and process it. You could be smarter than people who had a 200 IQ because they were to lazy to want to learn even though they have a greater capacity of recieving knowlege. |
More specifically it is a fairly accurate predictor of academic success. It is only good for telling you how well you are likely to do in school and nothing else. While to a certain extent this does tie directly into your ability to learn it is not directly the same. It is more about how quickly you learn and mostly it is only valid for a school setting. Once you leave the ivory tower of academia it is entirely useless.
