Do you have studies showing the lack of correlation between IQ scores and actual intelligence?
"do they have atheletic ability tests?
do they have musical ability tests?
do they have artistic ability tests?
do they have social skills tests?"Sure they do. :) They're just not administered by psychologists. In my experience, social skills and athletic ability are valued far more highly than intelligence, and musical and artistic ability may perhaps not get the emphasis they deserve. Although there are of course exceptions.
Ok, my revised understanding of what you're saying is that there may be differences in native intelligence, but that intelligence testing does not adequately measure them. Would that be a correct understanding?
