An IQ is test actually is a series of tests. Each test measures a different thing. The number is really an average of those things.
If you listen to the Howard Stern show, the employees will take the test in competitions and they'll bring on the doctors who administer the test and they'll explain it a bit and its fairly interesting.
One person who took the test had high scores on the test in almost every category except the timed parts because he would work at a slower pace.
