What do you think is the measure of human intelligence? many may say on how much that they know of subjects and such yet that is a fallacy. Anyone can open a book or listen to a teacher and believe that the knowledge makes them smart. However that is just memorization, pure rote.

All of these problems are independent of one's intelligence though, at least with how we think of intelligence. Normally we don't consider one's psychological capabilities as a variable to consider for making up intelligence, except perhaps for the theory of multiple intelligences.
Now, there is also observation that someone could do to determine one's intelligence. This can also have issues. I am quite aware that for myself, I sound much more intelligent in the written word than in my actions or my speech. This dealing with I have a social anxiety when around other people.
For interspecies intelligence, we do know that generally speaking, the brain size to body size ratio of the species is a good predictive indicator of each species intelligence. Dolpins, I believe, come in second to humans for that ratio, and they're also one of the only other species which act pretty human(i.e they have their own language with which they have unique names for each other, the pass down stories and traditions from each other, etc). But, this too can have exceptions. I mean, the human race is getting fatter in a lot of parts of the world, so our body mass is changing as a species, but this will not have bearing on our intelligence, and thus it's not a perfect correlation(r!=1)
There's certainly no perfect way of determining intelligence level.
I would say we probably need to observe someone without their knowledge, but we need an unbiased observer, perhaps an AI. This would probably be the closest to perfect measurement of intelligence we can get.

Yes, it's probably the most accessible and practical. That's probably why it's the most common way of doing it: it's just easy to do it that way and any other way to improve the accuracy would be very complex and difficult.

Someone's knowledge may significantly skew the "measurements" of their intelligence, since it becomes difficult to separate what patterns they can find in the unfamiliar environment from what patterns they are already familiar with.

Moreover, for me Intelligence is an abstract word (idea); it can be defined or measured anyway you want it to be.

Also a standard intellgence test does not work with all individuals. Take Autisitc people. The majority of them will score very low on a standard IQ test yet a good majority of them are highly intellegent. Some even have eiadetic memories.

There is no single way to measure all intelligence. Especially social intelligence which is not something you can 'test'. Maxx said that it is not to do with knowledge. That is entirely correct. Knowledge and intelligence are entirely unrelated concepts. Please reply if you think you can persuade me that they are related. I think that convergent intelligence is the easiest to measure, and therefore is a good way to measure this is the IQ test. But do not be fooled by the name. This test is a measure of how good your brain is at thinking in a certain way. Is that maybe the definition of intelligence? How good your brain is at thinking? The actual definition of intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. So no. But this definition does show that intelligence is not about how much you know but how good you are at acquiring knowledge. So being intelligent is also to do with how good you are at learning.
In conclusion, there are many different types of intelligence and for some there is no way to measure them. Therefore there is no way to measure intelligence as a whole. But IQ is a good way to measure convergent intelligence.
