One of the best measures of intelligence is a person's ability to assimilate info and actively learn from experience.
So, if someone is making the same dumb mistakes time after time, chances are they're not too bright.

IQ tests can provide information as it pertains to how individuals process information. IQ tests are designed to measure a number of different cognitive abilities. It is important to note that at times too much emphasis is placed on an IQ score. Intelligence tests were designed to measure various aspects of cognition to determine an individuals strengths and weaknesses. Most intelligence tests will provide a measure of an individuals auditory and visual processing (verbal reasoning and spatial discrimination) as well as measures of how quickly and efficiently one processes information. IQ tests usually include a measure of memory as well. The question should not be "Is the individual intelligent," rather "How is the individual intelligent." By this I mean how does the individual learn. Is the individual capable of learning when information is presented verbally or do they learn better when provided with "hands-on" activities. There are various aspects involved with intelligence and cognitive ability and it is important for an individual to discover how they learn most effectively in order to better utilize their strengths.

IQ tests can rate someone's intelligence. We can also see if a person is intelligent by how he/she responds anr reacts to various situations and problems.

IQ tests seem to work well. Many people are very flaky or kinda crazy and have a higher than average IQ.

Well, I use "Humor" to test intelligence, say something that is a bit complex but, funny, if they laugh, they understand the concept, if not, my jokes suck, or their stupid.
