Psychology also knows it’s not a complete measure, and we don’t assume it is. It’s one operationalization of a very complex construct.

We do reject it as a complete measure of intelligence and see it as a measure to assess academic potential. It’s intelligence in our western school system yes, and it seems to be stable over time.

Next to practice effects and the Flynn effect it’s a fairly stable measure. Most people won’t go from a 130 to 80 if the test is reliable.
Edit: essentially, it’s the best thing we have, while knowing it’s far from perfect.
