As long as Y is the kind of thing you score points for getting right in an IQ test.

Yeah, if Y is something like that, then people who score highly on IQ tests are more likely to get it right. I'm not convinced that scoring highly on an IQ test means you're more likely to get any old question right - why would anyone think that?

It's probably true that there are a class of problems for which IQ-successful strategies are not optimal.
