It is supposedly tested by taking an IQ test. However there has been significant questions about the reliability and potential cultural bias on these tests (e.g. people of western European ancestry consistently test higher than people from other cultural backgrounds, also poor people consistently test lower than the rest of the population). In my opinion the only thing IQ tests measure reliably is the ability to score high on IQ tests, and they only very loosely correlate with actual intelligence. I doubt that any test exists that actually measures a person's true intelligence.

Intelligence can be tested using standardized assessments such as IQ tests, achievement tests, cognitive tests, and neuropsychological evaluations. These tests typically measure a range of cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, reasoning, memory, and processing speed to provide a relative measure of an individual's cognitive abilities.
