Why do people say IQ doesn't matter when IQ is well correlated with academic success and, as a result, success in life in general?

Do people honestly believe that a person with an IQ of 90 can compete effectively in an environment where the average IQ is 120 (say at a competitive medical school)? They say things like "IQ tests only measure how good you are at IQ tests", but they fail to understand that being good at most intellectual tasks, like mathematics, pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, literary analysis, etc.. tends to make you better at IQ tests than the average person.

Is it because they're insecure with their IQ? What does /sci/ think?
