The people that are already scoring high could be bribed in to scoring higher. I just think they are already motivated to score high in the first place. It makes more sense to me that the reason why an IQ test is good at finding out who's more likely to succeed is because the people more motivated to succeed would be more motivated to score high on an IQ test rather than it being an accurate measurement of intelligence which, beyond that one test, most psychologists actually reject for a variety of reasons.
Oh, and we could get into how drastically IQs can change over time too. Or how training can have a drastic impact on your IQ scores.

everyone who takes the SAT has the same goal. To get into college. If you don't understand this and you take the SATs anyway, you should be wearing a protective helmet
Lol @ the people who score high could be bribed. You just as well could say the people who score low could be bribed to take a fall.
The scores change over time cause people are getting smarter. Guess what happens? The scores are re adjusted so the average is always 100.
