It's not BS, exactly (although his very likely is). It's just a very narrow facet of overall human ability. I've tested to have a very high IQ, and I work as a construction foreman. IQ, as we test for it, is just the ability to quickly understand and solve logic-based puzzles. Useful? Sure. But it doesn't guarantee the wisdom to know how to apply it, or to arrive at the truth. You'll just be better at convincing yourself of what you already believe.
