IQ tests measure an important domain of cognitive functioning and they are moderately good at predicting academic and work success. But they are incomplete. They fall short of the full panoply of skills that would come under the rubric of 'good thinking'.Some tests:
If it takes five machines 5 minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets? (PS only 17% of 3400 college students got it right.)
Jack is looking at Anne, and Anne is looking at George; Jack is married, George is not. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person? Choose between yes, no, or cannot be determined.
Answers are somewhere in the article, I won't spoil it for you.
