The idea
Intelligence tests are criticized for cultural bias, entry 0941, and cultures differ in what they count as intelligence, from analytical ability to its interpersonal uses, entry 1829.
In practice
Nonverbal, culture-fair tests such as Raven's matrices, which still need cultural adaptation, entry 0941.
Where people slip
A test measures intelligence as its designers defined it, which is why cultural critiques persist.
