Define real world success, I doubt we agree on that.
My challenge to folks who are skeptical about IQ tests such as the Stanford-Binet or WAIS-R: Develop your own measure of general cognitive ability and show that it has higher reliability & validity in predicting real-world success. I'll wait.

Pick any metric you want that reasonable people would consider related to 'success'.

I'm starting to get the idea that alot of anti-IQ, and intelligence research folks are honestly only against it because such animosity is mainstream. We get alot of criticism, yet no alternatives.

Their only alternative seems to be 'IQ test don't predict real-world success as well as real-world success predicts real-world success'

You are empirically absolutely wrong. The g factor can be extracted from factor analysis of any set of reliable mental tests in any population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics) …

Does one get the same g factor (or highly similar ones) when one extracts it from a battery of tests given to very different populations (in terms of ancestry, occupation, education, socioeconomic status)? How sample dependent is the g factor?

isn't the criticism that such a measure doesn't exist and shouldn't be expected to exist?

And yet the measures do exist, and there are many good reasons why they should. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2a71bf7e0ab3ba886cea3/t/58ebbdea197aea9c4054598c/1491844589895/2000+sexual+intelligence.pdf …

We've been measuring general intelligence since 1904. So in what sense is it 'impossible'?
