IQ doesn't actually mean much. Stephen Jay Gould's The Mismeasure of Man is a good place to start.

Specifically, my goal is (assuming I understand correctly) non-goal-directed bounded artificial intelligence agents, so... it's pretty similar, at least. It's certainly a strong enough motive for some people.
