The video is making a decent point, but doing it in a very, very flawed way. IQ tests are far from unbiased and don't really test intelligence; they test how well you can take an IQ test. And since the structure and questions on IQ tests are very biased against every demographic that's not "white, upper/middle class, male" all this video really shows is that a dude in the military knows how to take an IQ test.
I only linked it to support OP's point that doctors are just normal people but tend to be very overconfident. Your point is correct but I don't think it detracts from what I'm using the video to illustrate.
The whole video is a fun watch to see how people behave in tense social situations with strangers.
