If you don’t get that, then the world is terrifying. Someone’s said that IQ “correlates with” life outcomes? What the heck is “correlate with”? Did they say that only high-IQ people can be successful? That you’re doomed if you don’t get the right score on a test?
This is definitely not the only worry had by people who are skeptical of IQ usefulness.
Suppose an institution or firm decides to impose IQ tests to applicants and automatically reject anyone below a certain threshold.
Alternatively, suppose IQ tests are given more widely in schools and used to irreversibly track students into different career paths from a very early age. Sorry, smart kid, it doesn't matter
