Do you think I.Q. tests are an accurate measure of intelligence? Do you consider yourself "intelligent" ?

No. Intelligence is about how fast someone can learn and deploy knowledge they come across

The majority of the I.Q. tests are not generic things about rapid learning, but rather general academic concepts. School taught math for example
@Babylon IQ tests do cover memory skills: audio , visual, text and puzzles etc.
But it's just regurgitation of information.

Some of it is problem solving questions...but even then , one must solve the problem to their specified result .

I kinda think in this modern age, IQ tests need to be made differently.

The world has changed, information is used in a different way now.
Knowledge manipulation skills have expanded beyond what they once were.
