If you are concerned about whether tests simply measure middle class status go back to Jensen's Bias in Mental Testing.

I've read it. It doesn't address my argument. IQ tests gave general knowledge questions on them, mostly found in the middle class. Read:https://www.scribd.com/document/250660667/Richardson-2002-What-Iq-Tests-Test …

IQ used to be measured by simple reaction time, so possibly very physiological (as, say, neuronal transmission speed).

RT and IQ “is too complicated and revealing a significant correlation depends on various variables (e.g. methodology, data analysis, instrument etc.)” (Khodadadi et al, 2014).

well, at least it provides one physiological way to conceive of intelligence, if the tests indeed do have the construction problems you point.

"Our physiological systems are intelligent". I don't disagree, but that doesn't preclude some organisms from being more intelligent than others (i.e., responding more fittingly to the environment)

Intelligence always involves trade-offs (energy costs, stress on the birth canal, increased tendency to neurological disorders), which is why its contribution to fitness is ambiguous, and natural selection dithers over it.
