   Hello...   
      
      
   "IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties, he says,   
   including logic, abstract reasoning, learning ability and working-memory   
   capacity - how much information you can hold in mind.   
      
   But the tests fall down when it comes to measuring those abilities   
   crucial to making good judgements in real-life situations. That's   
   because they are unable to assess things such as a person's ability to   
   critically weigh up information, or whether an individual can override   
   the intuitive cognitive biases that can lead us astray."
