... in other words: There's nothing wrong with intelligence tests. If a 
job requires a skill that typically correlates with intelligence, then 
an intelligence test is what you want to do.

Problems arise when people use intelligence tests on children, in an 
attempt to asses their /potential/ for intelligence: That is indeed 
something intelligence tests are rather poor at.
