I linked to the paper is another comment. They used the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) for intelligence.
>The AFQT score in the NLSY is the sum of the standardized scores of four tests: arithmetic reasoning, paragraph comprehension, word knowledge, and mathematics knowledge, and is expressed as a percentile score out of the general population
To my non-expert perception this does seem like a test that benefits from studying and general schoolwork (ie: reading books).

They used the The Short Grit Scale to determine grit (http://www.sjdm.org/dmidi/files/Grit-8-item.pdf) which seems like it biases toward un-creativity and "OCD completionism."
