IQ is simply a way to quantify intelligence.

There is actually no standardized way to measure IQ. You've heard criticisms of a certain test, but that is just one of many. There are tests that do no use any sort of cultural knowledge at all, such as Raven's Progressive Matrices. Theoretically, a cave man and a Harvard professor could reach the same score, assuming all other factors are the same. It only measures visual pattern recognition, but it is generally assumed that that is highly correlated with overall intelligence.

There are also g factor tests that attempt to measure overall intelligence.
