Your implication that a study by "trained professionals" is proof of this is hilarious. Many professionals disagree strongly about the values of IQ tests, among many other subjects of scientific studies. A simple Google search would show you that OP's opinion on IQ tests is also held by many other "trained professionals".

A quick read of the first paragraphs of the article also shows that it's not the IQ tests that are the measure for concentration.
