You are not misreading something. I made a mistake.
IQ does correlate with salary but that correlation is weak and a higher IQ brings in only a slightly higher salary. Correlations between IQ and GDPs however are very strong and a small increase in average IQ is correlated with a significant jump in GDP.
My source is the hive mind book, and my original footnote about IQ was incorrect and completely wrong. My original thesis still stands though. Do you have any thoughts about that? The whole IQ and success thing was just a footnote. I shouldn't of added it in, as you are correct in identifying that the footnote was completely wrong. I believe in admitting mistakes and not charging forward with bias so please critique anything you disagree with... I want critiques that address more than the footnote.
