Colleges and SAT scores vs IQ scores

Many people have asked whether colleges accept IQ scores instead of the customary SAT scores. Unfortunately, there aren't any colleges which do accept IQ scores. Logically though, the IQ test is simply a measure of intelligence, which is essentially the same thing the New SAT tests. The only difference however, is that the SAT is one step above being merely an intelligence test, as it tests high school intelligence moreso than intrinsic or natural intelligence. This is the primary reason why colleges do not accept IQ scores, but do accept SAT scores.
