>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.
