I'm suggesting that IQ is no measure on its own and that was an example. Seeing as you concede here that no one thing alone makes anyone a good anything, I'm surprised you didn't see that.
I'm not much good at debating. I merely put thoughts forward. I don't think quickly and it takes me a while to mull thoughts over. I'm easily disarmed by an argument and it can take me a few hours to realise if it's not even valid. I actually find it easier to debate on here, due to being able to come back some time later with a formed response. Face to face I have no hope. I hate confrontation. Yet my IQ comes in that 0.1% section in tests (or used to at least ;D). Logic has one answer, debates don't necessarily. In fact, a good debater can probably win a debate on something which isn't logical.
I believe it needs a certain amount of emotional intelligence (do they call that EQ?) to be able to debate without resorting to emotional outbursts. Does emotional intelligence come with IQ? Maybe.
