Real IQ tests that aren't faked are typically administered and timed and you don't get a chance to redo them. It's like an obstacle course.
However, there is a seriousness in recognition that if they do have a very high IQ - they will likely be technical and mathematical, but not socially strong
This means they will need to compensate and that likely comes from compliance - it's the cheat sheet for social contracts. Just comply and nod head.
So I think they are high IQ (assuming legit test) but they compensate with compliance.
It's like really stupid people tend to not understand how to do well, so they will tend to do well in other areas - school testing is another issue though. That is rubrics and box checking as you said. And that shit is just mediocrity in paper form
Yeah, however I think there exceptions to all. A bad school, but a good home, or even a good mentor could make a big difference because at least someone opened their eyes.
The problem is when you have autopilot people from birth to adulthood. They never are given the reins, always moved from a to b, have their lives scheduled out and just get used to doing what they are supposed to
I started working with people in the WW2 generation just as they were about to retire. They showed me there is a big difference with intelligence, in regards to what works on paper as opposed to what works in real life.
All the contrived knowledge in the world will only do you so much good until you run into problems that you have never encountered before on paper.
I am legitimately fearful the way things are going, by how reading material off the internet is given more credence than first hand experience.

Good at lying and blame too its easier to fake it in the white collar world.
