Quite so.

Although ability to take an IQ test has *some*, though not
one-to-one, correspondence, with ability to do well in school.

I like to compare intelligence to the volumetric content of a
glass so transparent that you can't see it unless there's
something in it.  Fill the glass up; when it won't hold any more,
you know how large it is.
