The answer is: in terms of their content validity.

Explanation:

Content validity measures the extent to which an instrument, in this case an intelligence tests, measures the target construct; in this case the target construct that the instrument aimes to measure is intelligence.

For an instrument to have content validity it must be representative of the construct. Intelligence tests are considered culturally biased because it measures only what the dominant culture considers intelligence. The conceptual, and therefore, the operational definitions of intelligence are culturally biased and favor a specific population group.
