Other factors, such as creativity, are more important. 1. Restriction of range greatly limits possible correlation between GRE and success at grad school. If grad schools pay special attention to quantitative, then there could be greater restriction on that dimension than others, hence its lower correlation. 2. Given restriction of range on a whole host of predictors used to select graduate students, it would be surprising if something "novel" did not predict better. It is at least something that varies among grad students, unlike the other data against which it is being unfairly compared.
