the claim

IQ test scores are positively correlated with later job performance and educational attainment.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that IQ test scores are positively correlated with later job performance and educational attainment?

Partly. One item partially supports the link between childhood cognitive ability and later educational/cognitive outcomes, while another partially questions whether job performance is a stable criterion of intelligence. Neither item fully settles the claim about IQ scores correlating with both job performance and educational attainment.
