IQ Test Results

I recently took a an IQ test. I was scored a 78 (about the 90rd percentile). This comes as a surprise, as I normally consider myself a smart dude. I go to the target and think I have good odds of breaking into investment banking (lots of family friends). I also really like stocks and finance, I even got about 500$ from the game stop. Is there a section of IB where I won’t be “behind the curve”?
