What measurement can you make to determine if someone is intelligent or not?
Any of a variety of IQ tests, to measure directly. But that might be cheating, analogous to asking directly about Hamlet.
So instead, ask them to perform any of the variety of real world tasks that are highly correlated with IQ (e.g., "here is a device you've never seen before, figure it out"). Measure their income - the theory of IQ claims income will be higher in the more intelligent group. Measure their criminality, risky sexual behavior or drug use; these will also be lower in the high IQ group.
I wouldn't claim intelligence existed if I couldn't make claims of this sort.
