yeah the problem with an iq test is it really is just a number. it doesn't tell you why that number is what it is. for example a person can score low because they are severely anxious, another can score low because they are tired and another can score low because of brain damage. they can all get the same score and have "the same" iq, and yet it isn't the same iq. because the iq doesn't really exist, it's just a quotient, just a number. it only exists as a trace of an event in time. you could also analyze the results and which questions they scored low on etcetera. but even then, it is only a trace. and of course that's all any scientific measure can ever be. but still, the fact remains that iq is just a tool. it's like measuring a person's grip. you can have a weak grip for many reasons, so many people can have the same grip strength for different reasons.
