I'm not sure. IQ is not really about how well or how deep can you think. Just how fast. All IQ tests are timed. A person with slightly above average IQ but a great ability to sustain motivation and good set of mental tools acquired through upbringing and education will run circles around any very high IQ person in any domain that doesn't have strict time pressure.


That opinion is just wrong. Anyone how knows just the basics in the field of psychometrics can see that.


How is it wrong exactly?


The ability to sustain motivation might just be a matter of diagnosis and medication.
