I haven't seriously studied intelligence tests or psychometrics, but from what I understand, the best IQ tests only measure certain limited forms of intelligence such as spatial reasoning, working memory, and vocabulary.

And I'm afraid I can't give a very good definition of general intelligence. I have an intuition as to its definition which is hard to describe.

There's a high correlation between many different intelligence tests. That's the point of Spearman's g factor, and why the US army uses things like the ASVAB.
