I've dabbled a lot in Psychology, psychoanalysis, and sociology in general because these topics interest me a lot. I'm no PHD - but I've read a good amount of paper and research on these subjects
There's something in human nature that I always want to get to know more, to have a better understanding of things and use that for my advantage
Here are what psychologists tend to agree upon, and rarely dispute when it comes to success and IQ
There's a huge correlation between the IQ of a person with his success, and IQ is 70% of a chunk of it more or less (Which is the highest factor to consider) - But there are other factors as well:
- Societal privilege (Where he was born into - this factors in how easy life is relatively compared to others born into so and so - which is of happenstance)
- Agreeableness (Is he agreeable, or not agreeable - non-agreeable people tend to succeed more in work environments)
- Stress Regulation (can this person function even under immense stress)
These are factors psychologists agree with, of course there are other minor factors to consider - but these 4: IQ, Societal Privilege, Agreeableness, Stress Regulation - are the defining factors on a persons competence
---------------
Someone with an average IQ of 100-103 and below would be having a hard time succeeding in IM - Reasons why:
Tasks for IQ of 103 and below tend to be heavily repetitive, with not room for decision making, more so freedom to maneuver tasks in work - something IM is all about.
Tasks for IQ with 103 and below are mono-disciplinary. One task - that they should master or at least get a huge grip on, and believe me - people in this range already have a hard time with just covering basics.
Wherein you need a good amount of knowledge and technical know-how - and the mind to operate all of those things to culminate your IM skills.
--------------
Is this a problem? Yes, society doesn't find this topic something they can easily handle - that there are limits to peoples minds and that IQ is the highest defining factor of it.
Especially for people below an IQ of 87 - if these people live in 1st world countries, they can at least work as a greeter in Walmart - but the Army will reject them (The Army rejects people with an IQ of 87 or less)
Anyways - for OP's question, as long as you're above average (above an IQ of 103) then you may succeed - but it's still going to be tough
The higher your IQ is, as well as factors with your societal privilege, your personality trait of agreeableness (hoping you're not agreeable), and high stress regulation and capacity, then the higher your chances are
This goes in any work environment.

You guys can read the papers on this subject here, although these I think aren't the updated studies (the update I know is that EQ is now disputed as not factual, and not a real factor in a person's development)
