it only makes sense to me on a meta level, like saying a certain population has this average iq. i can also see it being interesting to find out roughly what range of iq you're in and how that compares to the population. everything else is kind of pointless imo. as far as predicting an individual's overall success? maybe when comparing non-whites to average intelligence scores. i would wager most truly high-iq individuals have trouble succeeding in systems designed for the lowest common denominator.
