Yeah, I don't consider any of those except creativity (of a sort) to be constitutive for intelligence.

what's your point, other than that the definition of intelligence is arbitrary?

I think his point is that you guys are BADLY abusing the definition of intelligence so that every little kid gets to be called intelligence "in his own little way." Honestly you guys, intelligence isnt just a synonym for "vaguely good." It has meaninging. When you start to lump into intelligence basically EVERY SINGLE HUMAN CHARACTERISTIC that most people would consider positive, it starts to become foolish.
