Just as thermometers are a tool that measures temperature as relative degrees,
Amusing—those are a direct quantification of temperature. Degrees Celsius for example goes to degrees Kelvin rather well. They use arbitrarily fixed points above zero K—but the IQ scale does not do this.
Now, of course, IQ is not g. And we have no means of quantifying g.
I think maybe you are under the misapprehension that by “intellectual capacity” I was saying “intelligence”. If I had meant “intelligence” I would have said “intelligence”.
