At Forbes, Tomas Chammoro-Premuzic discusses each of these misconceptions about intelligence and IQ:

IQ tests don’t measure intelligence
IQ scores don’t predict anything useful
IQ is less relevant to career success than EQ is
IQ matters less than learning agility
You can be intelligent in many different ways
IQ is the product of formal education
High IQ scorers are socially awkward
Selecting people on IQ harms diversity and inclusion efforts
