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.
Not every president has taken an IQ test, and in fact, until the modern era, such a test did not exist. Since the results of such tests are confidential, there is no way to know where President Obama ever took one. What we do know is that he graduated from Harvard Law School in the top five percent of his class, and received academic honors, certainly an indication of high intelligence.
It is not possible to definitively determine who has the highest IQ in India since IQ scores are not widely publicized and the concept of intelligence is subjective. Additionally, intelligence is a complex trait that cannot be fully captured by a single test.
Yes, intelligence is influenced by both heredity and environmental factors. Studies have shown that genetics play a role in determining intelligence, but environmental factors such as education, nutrition, and opportunities also contribute to cognitive development.
Iceland was judged by the Economist Intelligence Unit to be the safest country in the world in 2009.
No, intelligence is not determined by a person's name. It is important to avoid making assumptions about a person's intelligence based on their name. Personality, upbringing, and life experiences all play a role in determining a person's level of intelligence.
