This means IQ tests can be used for screening. Even though IQ is an imperfect measure, it allows to very reliably decide the chances of achieving certain outcomes. Jensen (1980) claimed that that 115 was the minimum IQ threshold for qualifying for admission to a graduate school, and at the lower end of the intelligence spectrum, 75 was the threshold generally required to complete elementary school | This means IQ tests can be used for screening.
