>There is this Pokémon, Alakazam, it has an IQ that exceeds 5,000. Over three hundred sigmas. Yet any schmuck with a cheap pokeball can capture it and use it however he pleases. What other evidence you need that IQ ends up selecting for exam-takers, paper shufflers, obedient IYIs (intellectuals yet idiots), ill adapted for “real life”.

Alakazam allows itself to be caught so that it may suck the life essence and soul of its possessor. Once done, Alakazam empties its vessel and finds new victims.

Cringe. I have an IQ of around 160 (using GRE estimates) and a 7.5 incher, but I don't think a higher IQ would benefit me.
