In 1905 the French psychologist Alfred Binet published the first modern intelligence test, the Binet-Simon intelligence scale. His principal goal was to identify students who needed special help in coping with the school curriculum. Along with his collaborator Theodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his intelligence scale in 1908 and 1911, the last appearing just before his untimely death.
In 1912, the abbreviation of "intelligence quotient" or I.Q., a translation of the German Intelligenz-Quotient, was coined by the German psychologist William Stern. A further refinement of the Binet-Simon scale was published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman, from Stanford University, who incorporated Stern's proposal that an individual's intelligence level be measured as an intelligence quotient (I.Q.). Terman's test, which he named the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale formed the basis for one of the modern intelligence tests still commonly used today.

The ones I've taken were definitely a test of intelligence. Being able to identify patterns in pictures and come up with the next logical answer, word associations, identify patterns within a set of numbers,math problems, etc...I'd like to think they're accurate (I did very well each time I was tested) however as Pope stated your state of mind at the time plays a huge factor, being well rested before taking the test made a difference of 18 pts between my worse and best score.

This depends in part on semantics... Are you asking about when the first intelligence test was made, or the first on that was called an "I.Q. test" or what? But rather than answer this for you, allow me to direct you to another web site where the answer is given in great detail... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I.Q._Test
That should answer this for you quite well.
Ah, CosmicStorm3 beat me to this one... oh well.
