Also, IQ is practically common sense. No one cares how much sense you have in the real world but they do care if you got an A in your paper.

I hate today's society and mindset.

Getting a decent score on your exams is an accomplishment. At least to some.

right.
It's not like you use those exams to pass school or college to get a better education for a better job or anything.

If your goal is to do good on an exam, I pity you.
Education system is fucked and needs a new start. All of that 2012 nonsense wouldn't be such a bad thing if it's the only way to change everything.

OK, let's build a scenario. Man A is actually smarter than Man B.
Man A fucked around in school and failed half of his subjects, and also didn't do too well in his passed subjects. Man B did everything asked of him in his school years. He did his homework, studied and achieved high scores in his exams.
Man A applies for a job with his shit CV. Man B applies for a job with his good CV. Common logic would dictate that Man B would get the job due to the superiority of his grades.

Not saying that those without an education couldn't reach the same as those with. That said, the odds are a lot lower for those without a proper education. Not to mention the road towards the same goal would be significantly longer.

Scenario two.
Man B turns out to be useless with his job and don't know how/ isn't fast enough to do his shit and is fired.
Man A gets the job and does everything quickly and efficiently.

Man A decides to start a business of his own; Is successful.
Man B decides to work for man A
Man A fires man B for being shit-tier at his job
Man A does work by himself, cannot keep up, loses his company.
End result? Both are unemployed.

Or...
Man A doesn't focus in school and fails his courses.
Man B focuses, and passes his courses.
Man A decides school isn't right for him and decides to drop out and use his time to do something he enjoys, programming.
Man B continues school and gets some nice degrees in several areas.
Man A continues working on a programming project.
Man B finds a job with good pay.
Man A finishes his project and releases the product for sale.
Man B continues working at his job with good pay.
Man A sells over a million coppies within a year.
Man B gets a raise.
Man A starts up a business and hires some employees to help manage the product and products to come.
Man B is awarded "employee of the month".
Man A's company grows and eventually buys the company that Man B works for.
Man B gets another raise.
The odds of that happening are slim, but that's not to say it's impossible. With the right mindset any smart person can be successful. Inventing, discovering, innovating, etc... the keys to success. School is good for educating those people along the way, though it may have lost touch with its purpose over time.
I'm not saying school can't make you successful, a lot of people get good jobs because of their education. But if you take a look around, most of the (really) successful people didn't reach their status because they did good on exams.

I have a question for Man A.
How did he manage to pay for all of that? I bet he lived with his parent until like 30-40.
