Answer 2

IQ tests have been criticized for various reasons, including cultural bias, limited scope in measuring intelligence, and the potential for reinforcing stereotypes and creating stigma. Additionally, individual performance on IQ tests can be influenced by factors such as test-taking abilities and socioeconomic background, which may not accurately reflect one's true intelligence.
