There are plenty. It is based on GRE scores, a fair proxy for IQ (correlation ~0.7).

>>6165322
Standardized tests are inherently more objective and indicative of an individual's knowledge than grades, which can vary widely from school to school or even instructor to instructor.

I, for one, know I've passed plenty of classes without actually learning shit from them.
