An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardized tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence.[1]
What exactly are you claiming? That it’s not a test to measure intellect? That IQ is pseudoscience? Or that it’s not specifically generalized intellect?
It’s polite etiquette to mention what you’re quoting.
Scores from intelligence tests are estimates of intelligence. Unlike, for example, distance and mass, a concrete measure of intelligence cannot be achieved given the abstract nature of the concept of “intelligence”.

It’s obviously a common definition of IQ… It doesn’t really matter where it’s from as it shows that general definitions of IQ claim it’s a test of generalized intellect.
Your quote doesn’t really refute my argument, or clarify what claim you are making?
I’d say IQ is an attempt at concretizing a notion of intelligence. There’s little consensus on what intelligence really means, so there’s not much more to say than that. In other words, IQ is just a number. More relevant is what IQ can be found to correlate with.
