This:

An IQ test measures how much you know compared to others in your age group

Does not equal this:

a score determined by one's performance on a standardized intelligence test relative to the average performance of others of the same age

The first statement specifically declares that IQ tests measure knowledge. The second statement declares that IQ tests measure performance. There's a difference. IQ tests, at least the more g-loaded tests, do not measure knowledge, they measure reasoning ability, that is your ability to figure things out and understand, not what you have learned.
