The Turing test is like saying planes don't fly unless they can fool birds into thinking they're birds. - Peter Norvig, via https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup

IMHO other intelligence tests are the same - they tend to measure familiarity with established systems of rationality and response within a given culture only.

Here's a thought experiment. Imagine a student who can't read, or who can't read the language the test is written in, or are an elementary learner of that language. They would tend to score poorly. All communication is like this, not just written tests. But the logical basis upon which rationality is measured within said tests is also a language, and its drawbacks exactly parallel that of language itself. Perhaps what IQ and similar metrics are really measuring is cultural indoctrination and familiarity as a highly tangential proxy to the basic cognitive abilities which they actually purport to grade.

It's impossible for there to be an objective measure of intelligence as it is an adaptation to a specific environment.

As others have said before me, an IQ test measures how adapted you are to IQ tests.
