Since, one property of intelligence is analytical and reasoning skills, people with high intelligence quotient will understand the problem at hand better than people with a low IQ.
Many organizations consider intelligence as an important criterion while recruiting. For instance, in many management schools, a lot of weightage is given to high IQ while admitting students or recruiting faculty members. The qualities of intelligent people are high energy drive, achievement and competitiveness.
