Notes -
Yep there are many factors besides IQ that matter quite a lot. Unfortunately though because IQ is so denied as a useful characteristic by the mainstream, contrarians tend to see it as the most important thing ever.
By my lights, IQ is a useful predictor for someones potential in a narrow sense of what IQ is useful for measuring. But there are many more factors involved in being human that IQ doesn't directly involve, and for some tasks high IQ can even be a detriment.
