Intelligence test are the tests that are designed to measure the capacity to make abstractions, to deal with novel situations, or , to learn new things; while knowledge tests Knowledge tests and quizzes are used as a means of evaluating the knowledge, abilities, skills, or performance of an individual or group mostly within an specific domain or area.

Intelligence tests try that they are not based on any previous knowledge so that they can make objective assessment of an Individual's skills and ability. However, that seems to be little difficult. For example, IQ assessments- tests usually include visual puzzles, mathematical logic, ability to put things in order, ability to memorize things, etc., but these tests often based on the verbal abilities (vocabulary) based on previous knowledge. It will not be wrong to say that Intelligence tests too actually measure some forms of previous knowledge.

Its diffcult to say as to how you will evaluate the performance of a good muscians: based on knowledge of good music, or performance. But, preference of music is also culturally biased, understanding of lyrics is certainly based on your previous knowledge of language. 

Intelligence tests (e.g. used by Pearson) created by the psychologist David Wechsler in 1939. The test used the point-scale system, which gave credits to correct answers (as opposed to Binet's test which would not give credit at all if all the items of a task had not been answered correctly. It apparently also, unlike Binet's test, included a non-verbal performance scale which addressed the biases caused by culture, language or education (Wikipedia).
