Why one would continue to know or talk about the number is a pretty strong indicator of the previous statement.
What actual fact are you trying to state, here?
Because of perceived illegal biases, these evaluations are no longer used in most cases, so we tend to use undergraduate education as a proxy. Places that are exempt from these considerations continue to make successful use of it.
Neither an IQ test nor your grades as an undergraduate correlate to performance in some other setting at some other time. Life is a crapshoot. Plenty of people in Mensa are struggling and so are those that were at the top of class.

Actual study:
I don’t know my IQ, but I probably would score above average and have undiagnosed ADHD. I scored in the 95th percentile + on most standardized tests in school but tended to have meh grades. I’m great at what I do, but I would be an awful pilot or surgeon.
Growing up, you know a bunch of people. Some are dumb, some are brilliant, some disciplined, some impetuous.
Think back, and more of the smart ones tend to align with professions that require more brainpower. But you probably also know people who weren’t brilliant at math or academics, but they had focus and did really well.
How so? Solving more progressive matrices?
...on IQ tests.
If some people in the test population got 0s because the test was in English and they didn't speak English, and then everyone else got random results, it'd still correlate with job performance if the job required you to speak English. Wouldn't mean much though.
