Exactly. And of the "official" IQ tests scientist would conduct, or psychologists, it is not much different. As long as there are so many different understandings of what intelligence is, and IQ tests get constructed with this diversity of understanding, and different weighing of theoretical sub-constructs, IQ scores make little sense.
Or as Asimov put it: intelligence is what an IQ-test is measuring.
Better understand intelligence as a meta-label only that does not describe one quality in itself, but under which a whole range of qualities of varying complexity get summarized. and to the degree the mixture is varying, so does your understanding of intelligence, and so does what your test is measuring.
Which might essentialy mean there are different kinds of intelligence in theory as well.
