It only focuses on the culture and environment the test is geared towards.

Correct.

IQ is a bad way to measure intelligence

Not correct...

I'm hoping you meant "IQ tests" and not the fundamental concept of IQ tho...

You don't see how fast a fish can climb a tree, but you can time it swimming upstream.

Some stuff like crystalized intelligence (trivial pursuit) need switched out almost constantly. But things like pattern recognition (make this shape from smaller shapes) are so generic that primates and even corvids can take the same test as us. Working memory too, a chimp absolutely demolishes us at that one btw.

The main problem with IQ tests is people pick one specific test, and want to have everyone take it and only care about the overall score. Which is a gross oversimplification of any actual IQ exam.
