I'd be willing to bet that the tests correlate with which immigrants occupy better jobs, as in people like the Japanese, Jewish people, Chinese occupy high IQ jobs such as IT, finance, law and so on. You're totally right though I don't have solid evidence that I've researched yet beyond google.
Intelligence tests are subjective - IQ or otherwise. When we study intelligence in other animals one of the main things we look for is problem-solving abilities, but that's far from the only way that creatures show intelligence. In humans the ability to perform complicated tasks is another example of intelligence.
