Morphology
The compound 'intelligence test' is fully compositional: 'intelligence' (capacity to learn, understand, and reason) modified by 'test' (a formal assessment) directly yields a test that measures intelligence. This noun–noun construction is common across languages and standard in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Intelligence test comes from the simple idea of 'measuring' the mind: people thought of intelligence like a size and used a test of questions and small tasks to give a number, like using a ruler for height. That's why today it means a test that shows how well someone can think.
