Opponents argue that it is much more useful to know which are the strengths and weaknesses of a person than to know that he or she holds a measureable superlative on n percent of the populace in some "general intelligence" measure. Such opponents often cite the example of two people with the same overall IQ score but very different ability profiles. However, most people have highly balanced ability profiles. Differences in subscores are greatest among the most intelligent, which may lead them to this misconception.
Others argue that IQ testing is unnecessarily narrow and have proposed wider testing that covers emotional/social intelligence, creativity, artistic intelligence, etc. An extreme argument along these lines states that "one's IQ is merely a measure of how good one is at doing IQ tests." While this is inherently almost a truism it conveys the impression that either there is no correlation with actual IQ, or that the concept of IQ is meaningless.
