Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, while IQ tests are intended to measure intelligence, they often only measure one type of intelligence, and are therefore biased against certain groups of people. By trying to fit cognition into a box, IQ testing disvalues cognitive diversity. This may be causing negative impacts.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to some researchers, the “cultural specificity” of intelligence makes IQ tests biased towards the environments in which they were developed – namely white, Western society. This makes them potentially problematic in culturally diverse settings.
Detailed explanation-3: -A test can be considered biased if it detects not only innate differences in intelligence but also performance differences caused by cultural experiences. to answer questions about their new culture, and were classified as “feebleminded.” In this popular sense, intelligence tests are biased.
