"IQ testing has a proven track record of decades. The correlation and reliability are as established as using a meter stick to measure height."

Not doubting that at all. The spatial facility test apparently provides an even better correlation than IQ and has the serious advantages that it can be administered much earlier in a child's life and is independent of language, so the arguments over ebonics or non-native speakers are eliminated.

Spatial relationships are one facet of IQ. Mathematics is quite different as is verbal testing. Some people do well in one area and not another.
