Eric:
These tests measure what they measure. Whether they indeed "provide
scientific measures of our intellectual abilities" is contestable.
For one thing, the domain specificity of intelligence confounds
attempts to establish one-size-fits-all measures of intelligence.
This is not my area, but if you would like to be brought up to speed
on this topic, perhaps other list members might suggest salient
resources.
