Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'IQ' denotes intelligence quotient and 'test' denotes an assessment, so together they clearly mean a test that measures IQ. This straightforward noun+noun construction is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The IQ test comes from early 1900s work by psychologists when IQ was short for 'intelligence quotient', a number made by comparing a person's 'mental age' with their real age. A test is a set of tasks that gives that 'score', so today an IQ test means any exam that gives a number to show someone's thinking ability.
