You could spend a week administering a battery of those types of tests as has already been done, or you could administer an IQ test that has been found to correlate well with the results of those other tests except in the freak autist-tier specimens.

Why wouldn't the ability to navigate modern day situations and solve contemporary problems be the criterion for intelligence? It's what everybody wants and society could arguably use more of. Of course there are things you could succeed at without it but the dirty secret is that most people have the brains to be dirt farmers and gatherers so it's not that interesting. Chief Keef is probably the prime example of being good at something without a high IQ (giving his fans what they want, not being a musical innovator/genius) but we can only use so many Chief keefs.
