Even though IQ is an imperfect measure, it allows to very reliably decide about extremes of everyday practice, for example a person with IQ less than 90 is very likely to fail in an academic math course, with 115 being asserted to be the likely minimum for a graduate degree with satisfying grades.<ref>https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/78677</ref> | Even real-life cognitive tasks like school, work and social performance (but only declarative knowledge about social events, not so much gossipy socializing<ref>https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/9746/does-high-iq-correlate-with-good-social-skills</ref>) are just as much correlated with general intelligence as IQ tests.
