I happen to think that speed of problem solving is a big intelligence indicator. The people you mention would not score highly in a current IQ test overall so I don't really see your point.

i don't think this is true, this is why most schools have extended time test taking now, some people just cannot manage in timed constraint but are very intelligent. sometimes this is due to OCD, dyslexia, ADD, etc. but it doesn't make them stupid.

the problem with the argument about timed test taking is that you could find someone that could answer 80 of 100 questions right in an hour, but if you give him 3 hours he'd still get 80 of 100; or you could have someone that would get 60 out of 100 right in an hour but in 3 hours would get 100 out of 100 every time.
