But IQ tests don’t measure how successfully one’s been indoctrinated, do they?

There is substantial recognition that IQ tests are based on socialization skills. Knowledge of cultural icons increase IQ tests. The notion of innate intelligence is difficult if not impossible to test.

No, they don’t, IQ measures the ability to understand certain concepts and to retain, recall and use information. IQ alone though is no guarantee of anything. There are a lot of examples of “high IQ idiots”.
