Yeah, those IQ tests are very good at testing very specific abilities. Abilities that _can_ be a sign of intelligence, but only when one grows up in an environment where one gets trained in developing such abilities. An absence of such ability does not imply an absence of intelligence.

I also believe that intelligence is relative; some people are incredibly intelligent at solving quantum physics problems, but they can't change a lightbulb at home.

I'm sure an African in a tribe in the middle of the desert is incredibly intelligent in other areas and isn't interested in knowing if a small triangle with two balls inside is the same as another small triangle with one ball inside.
