no, I have a friend who did an IQ test and his score was average, but he's great in physics and mathematics, he always wins all the olympics tests and is practically a genius.

I don't think that there is any such thing as an online IQ test that is reasonably accurate. But, then, I seriously doubt that even the professional ones are an accurate indication of intelligence.

120 by MENSA. And I still think it's not viable. How can you even measure a life of potential from a single and simple test?. It is accurate in some cases and some very few aspects to identify gifted people with the purpose of giving them a proper life to develop their particular conditions. But I don't consider it viable for everyone, and even less when it's being overgeneralizated.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

No, as there are other factors of mental prowess that a statistical and technical test can't really deal with (intuition for example).

No. I believe there are multiple forms of intelligence (linguistic, musical, mathematical etc.).
I person might have a poor IQ due never having been to school but that doesn't mean he/she isn't smart. Similarly you'll have people with high IQs, but who also have no common sense.Basically it's the difference between street smarts vs book smarts.
Having a IQ is not a free ticket to being successful. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who give a lot of value to them have low self-estime.
