IQ was developed to tap into the g-factor, which was the common factor found across school grades in different subjects. It would be incredibly surprising if they didn't at least partially tap into the same construct, given that they were essentially constructed for similar purposes.

He's not totally off the mark here.
IQ testing has come a long way in the hundred-plus years it's been around. Like I said, there is generally a correlation between IQ and academic achievement, but they are two completely different constructs.

If I was tasked with doing a cognitive assessment but I just threw an SAT at the student instead and said "well, back in the early 1900s this would have seemed like a great idea," suffice it to say any competent advocate would clap my cheeks in that IEP meeting, lol
