I actually would expect the GRE analytical section, which I guess they got rid of in 2002, to be the best correlate with IQ. It's sort of like how they got rid of analogies on the verbal SAT to make it less of an IQ test and more of a how-much-did-you-study test (and more like the ACT). I actually kind of enjoyed the analytical section in a sick way because I always got them all right although it kind of hurt my brain after doing it for an hour in a row.Discussions about IQ make me depressed because I always do well on tests and IQ stuff but I haven't been very successful at anything I've done since college. Being in the top 0.1% or better doesn't make you cool or effective, it just makes you a huge nerd.

the gre is an iq test
no research is required to demonstrate the /sat/etc is or is not an iq test for anyone who knows what an iq test is.first, there are many tests calling themselves iq tests made by professional test makers. they don't agree, but they do correlate. the ravens-stanford-binet correlation is .7. the gre correlates at least as well.
if a test correlates with an iq test at .7 or above it is an iq test, because iq tests do not correlate with each other any better
second, iq tests arose when binet discovered that many tests have high correlations, ie measure the same thing. put them together in a battery and you get an iq test.
