Wikipedia had a link to the Chitling Test of Intelligence. It’s clearly a test of knowledge, not intelligence. It proves nothing except that the designer didn’t know the difference between an intelligence test and a test of knowledge. (I actually knew some of the answers even though I’m white as paper. Also, the last question does not provide the correct answer among the choices.)

Exactly. True intelligence tests are totally culture-free. They have been revised dozens of tmes to expunge any reference to knowledge, cultural or otherwise. They even have IQ tests now that are non-verbal — no words whatsoever.
