 >Pogo has a confirmed IQ of 160, Pogo also attended college for six years, getting a degree in computer engineering. After completing college, Pogo was convinced by Marilyn Manson to turn down a job offering at NASA in order to join the band as a keyboardist as it "was not the job [he] wanted". Contrary to popular knowledge, he was solely responsible for much of the Kabbalic, esoteric and numerological meanings in the band's worthwhile albums, -not- Manson himself, and was subsequently embezzled out of millions of dollars in songwriting royalties/conceptual/direction via fraud.
>"I was originally going to be an aerospace engineer and then the space shuttle blew up so no one could get a job. They fired all of the aerospace engineers from Rockwell. That was my goal in life because I grew up in Florida and so the space program is all around you. I saw the Apollo 17 launches, the space shuttle launches and I was just so psyched. I wanted to do that and then it blew up. There was no work so I switched to industrial engineering and got my degree in that."

I'll try to summarize what I've read. The IQ test was created to identify the people born smart. It was meant to be used for admissions and employment. The idea was that people with higher IQs will be more productive and successful. There is absolutely no correlation with IQ and success. The IQ test deals with nothing in what makes a good job candidate or employee. Also, the idea of the IQ is rooted in a fixed mindset, the belief that people are born to be a certain way, and that they need to find their purpose, instead of create it. People with fixed mindsets generally have low self esteem, even if they are considered naturally talented. People with growth mindsets are generally more satisfied with life, and become more successful, because they believe they can learn from failure. People with fixed mindsets avoid failure because failing is a demonstration of their natural ineptitude. The IQ, and other theories of natural talent, propagate the idea of a fixed mindset, and make people avoid failure. Deliberate practice is what makes someone good at something.The IQ model is in direct conflict with recent discoveries like neuroplasticity.
