For the same reason that we aren't ALL scientists: people have different interests, even those with high intelligence.

You're assuming that "science" requires high IQ more so than anything else. Intelligence (rather than IQ; it's a subtle difference, but IQ is just a measure of one's intelligence IN COMPARISON to that of those around him or her) is an indicator for cognitive abilities that can be applied, theoretically, to any field. Not all intelligent people WANT to be scientists, nor do they necessarily excel in science. THere's not really any connection to that field more than any other.

Because IQ tests really don't measure intelligence.
You may have a lucky day where you just happen to know half the answers and someone else may have a bad day.
You may be brilliant, but really suck at taking tests.
You may be a total Rock but make good guess'
The test is only to give an estimate and can not be used for anything else.

Because high IQ is very closely related to creativity and artistic ability.
