The Wechsler Scales have been the most widely used in the western world overtaking the much older Binet-Simon and others. The Wechsler have been normed on huge samples and if we take "intelligence" in your question to mean measured intelligence, then the reliabilty of the Wechsler is extremely good. Various aspects of intellectual functioning are measured, and these sub-tests are divided into verbal and non-verbal main scales.

In this way, high functioning individuals who perform better with objects and spatial tasks can be identified, rather than solely those who do well on working memory, vocabulary and verbal reasoning tests. The IQ is determined by averaging scaled scores resulting from each of the sub-tests, that is, taking account of all the tests. A Performance IQ is derived as well as a Verbal IQ, and the IQ normally given to describe an individual averages these two separate IQ areas.
