Bob sternberg: bombed iq tests but grew up to be an insightful, influential researcher and a world-renowned expert on intelligence, the correlation between iq scores and life success is far from 1. 00.

In designing their test, they were guided by the belief that intelligence is a capacity that matters for many aspects of cognitive functioning. This view led them to construct a test that included a broad range of tasks varying in content and difficulty. Therefore, intelligence could be measured by a composite score that took all the tasks into account.
