Could small talk be used to test someone's intelligence? How could you do this without making it obvious as to what you are trying to do?

You could ask them the classic interview question that Apple asks in interviews.
Or you can test to see if someone has a sense of humour.
I think you know when you're talking to someone. which one of the two are more suited for someone. This question is missing a fun question for a dumb person with no sense of humour. I can't help you there.
Just come up with some fun questions, no actually don't do that. Using taxing questions when you've just started speaking to someone is annoying and frustrating.
Instead you should just slant whatever you're talking about, with an inquisitive stance on it. That's what I would do. I would disregard everything I've said above this paragraph. Asking taxing questions is not attractive.
