IQ measures very little aside from how well you do on IQ tests. I've consistently placed from the low 140s to the low 150s...and so fucking what?
EQ and CQ, emotional and cultural intelligence, are at least as important. INT and WIS are separate dice in DnD for a reason. And someone with high IQ, low emotional intelligence, and low cultural competence is extremely dangerous to themselves and other people, because they lack a certain amount of what you may term "memetic immune response" *and* are super, super-good at fooling themselves, justifying their bad takes, and reinforcing them internally. After all, if all those chimp-brained commoners can't argue you out of X, X *must* be correct, riiiiiiiight? And there's no difference, as we know, between theory and practice. A-yup.
