These types of correlations are interesting on the global statistical scale. However, using them to derive conclusions about yourself is pretty meaningless. Assume you scored low on the IQ test (or even high), and the correlation between success and IQ is ~0.65 (not entirely sure what that means, and how is success defined here, but I've read something along those lines). Thats doesn't really yield any strong predictive power, so one should not take it seriously on the individual level.
