It depends entirely on the IQ test which is used. The most popular IQ test for adults in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, now in it's third edition. It is typically reported in three parts - a Full Scale score, which is the average of all the various components of the test, a Verbal Scale score, which is an average of the more language oriented tests and a Performance Scale score, which is the average of the more visual-spatial oriented tests. From there, you can break it down to four indices (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Organization, Working Memory, and Processing Speed.) It is possible to break it down even further by looking a individual subtests (of which there are 14). Other intelligence tests have different breakdowns, but they would follow a similar pattern.

depends on the test.
2 parts is typical ( math and English)
there may only be 1 part for children under six
A psychology professor told me that some experts think there are 147 components of IQ - but no test has that many parts.
