Just how important is having a high IQ to investing?

I remember when I was around 10-12 years old telling my parents to invest in Google and Apple, of course they didnt do it, mostly because they have never invested in a stock or anything, regardless, as time went on I was surprised at how a small child with no real interest in finance and the like did such good predictions based purely on raw stimuli.

Im an IR major (yes, unemployed) and I was able to predict some things before I graduated (Utoya massacre wasnt comitted by a radical muslim, Ghadaffi wouldnt step down, facebook and google spying on their users, Brexit, Colombian peace referendum outcome, Trump Victory). of course Ive also had erroneous guesses, when my cousin decided to invest on Netflix 4-5 years ago I thought he was gonna lose all his money.

I have a relatively high IQ and /x/ tier intuition, my question is just how important are those 2 factors when it comes to investing? could they be considered a head start, something that you could rely on solely, something to be complemented or simple hindrances in the long run?

How can someone make the most out of these abilities/gifts?
