I don’t understand, this seems clearly the case to me. Higher IQ seems to result in substantially higher performance in approximately all domains of life, and I strongly expect the population of successful CEOs to have many standard deviations above average IQ.
This can’t actually happen, but only due to the normal distribution of human intelligence placing hard caps on how much variance exists in humans.
There are only (by definition) 100 CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, so a priori, they could have an IQ score of the top 100 humans which (assuming a normal distribution) would be at least 4 standard deviations above the mean (see here).
