IQ is one thing, but I've found that IQ doesn't seem to correlate with creativity at all. Creativity as in "the ability to come up with novel useful ideas", not the bad definition psychology uses "the ability to come up with lots of crap ideas".
Not sure if we actually have a test for creativity, but it seems like some people have a very good ability to see what is useful and where to put their effort. And some people with very good IQ scores are really bad at it. They can solve math equations really well, but when it comes to discovering new useful math they are completely lost since they don't have the creativity to understand what new things are actually interesting.
