>but not for measuring what "intelligence" is


It actually is. IQ tests has a very high g loading ( like .8). The g factor is the factor that is inherent in any test of mental ability and is a very reliable substitute for what people consider "intelligence".

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

Moreover, IQ tests are a better predictor of job performance and life outcomes than any other single factor. Parent wealth, education level, attractiveness, etc are all worse predictors than IQ.
