IQ, at best, measures capacity to learn in a fairly narrow sense of the term. I think IQ and academic achievement have a correlation, but I don't think I could say that for IQ and mechanical ability(i.e. being "handy") or IQ and communication skills.
Besides, capacity to learn doesn't actually substitute for content knowledge. Hence, lazy-but-"smart" people don't do very well.
I think achievement tests like the ACT are better than aptitude IQ/SAT-style tests, personally.
