The standard IQ test has a lot of problems

One of the main problems is that the final "score" is determined by dividing the result by the person's age. The older the test-taker is, the lower the score just because he or she is older than the last time they took the test. Also there are language barriers that might indicate the person's educational level, or their facility with English, but not necessarily the person's intelligence or understanding.
