I'm surprised to see that household income correlates relatively strongly with both IQ and non-IQ genes. I would've imagined IQ genes would be dominant there.
Edit: after reading the blog post I'm not surprised anymore. Since non-IQ genes are defined as "...behaviors and abilities that are not measured by traditional IQ tests but are thought to help people be more successful in school, in their jobs, and in life generally." it would be surprising if they didn't have significant correlation.

I don't find that surprising at all. Emotional intelligence plays a strong part in both holding a job and a family. I am assuming here that IQ is disassociated with emotional intelligence.
