Is there anyone out there who can justify reification all the different manifestations of intelligence down to a single number?

IQ is no more a definitive measure of intelligence than the "score" you have in a Stars! game is a definitive measure of how well you are doing.

However, someone with a higher IQ is likely to be more intelligent (using the term in a manner that the average person would relate to) than someone with a lower IQ. That is it's point.

Like every other generalisation, it is not always accurate. But being a generalisation does not make it useless.
