why does the NFL discriminate so openly against out of shape people?

Because they can't keep up with the competition of professional football players.

IQ measures the ability to learn, not what you've learned. You can have a high IQ and know jack shit.

The way things work is that if you have a high IQ (and high motivation too), you receive high scores (SAT, ACT, grades), thus getting into the better universities and receiving better a education, which leads to fields of study and employ that generally require above-average intelligence people.
That being said, I don't really believe there is a truly accurate measure of intelligence.

Tail Post
Human beings cannot be quantified (by currently available methods); we aren't like computers with "specs" you can measure. For example, one "leap" of associative thinking can out-perform a thousand linear calculations. Which kind of thinker is better? Neither. If you can get the job done, you can get the job done.
Many famous people, in their respective fields, weren't the "right type" of person to do that job (as was traditionally understood); but they excelled in that field by breaking down the barriers that others were not equipped to understand. . . . And I'm citing that right out of my ass.

"intelligence" is different than an intelligence quotient score. People are more than a number.

I think it's easier to measure stupidity.

 Is there a comedic intelligence quotient test (c.i.q.t.)posted anywhere? I would say cellarites excel in that. Oh and pissing contests. Even if they do lie about their IQ score at least they're funny. (sometimes) Oh and that career guide to IQ comparable was suprisingly dead-on in my case. (that was most unexpected)

if IQ tests were accurate all the time, then maybe.
How about personality tests?

Your IQ score accurately measures how well you have done on an IQ test.
