Goodheart's law.

Besides what employer wants to hire someone based just on their intelligence scores? If someone is an uncooperative egoist prick I don't think many companies will want to hire them no matter their test scores.

Pure test prioritization also encourages rote learning and optimizing for the test, which is not great for creativity.
