CMV: IQ is important in life and saying it isn't, is misguiding other people

I've seen *online* plenty of high iq people claiming that your score on this test doesn't define your success and happiness in life. I protest, we are living in a time one's success and happiness is tied to their problem solving skills. Even someone went trough rough times or going through them, this skill makes their chance of survival much higher. Because information is easy to acquire now. You can teach yourself pretty much anything. 

Despite all this, saying it doesn't matter is fooling other people and it's just dishonest. To make such claim, one should lay out all the factors to their success or failure.

Yes, someone with a below average score go into physics. But are they ready to endure the mental challenge that comes with it? They will have to study much much more with less understanding. 'Yes, you can do it!' is misguiding them. They should be informed about this and make a concious choice.


EDIT: thank you for replies. you brought up many things i haven't thought of, i realize this is very complicated. actually many of the replies changed my view and i hope i'm not breaking any rules by awarding many deltas. i'm writing very slow but i hope to answer majority of the people. thanks again, i feel like i learned a lot.

I think that having a significantly low IQ (80’s or below), especially on some of the subscales, would negatively impact someone, but I’m not sure that someone with an IQ of 130 is bound to be happier or more successful than someone with an IQ of 110.
