Intelligence in what context?
If someone is logical or analytical and can solve complex math or physics problems, does that make them more intelligent than someone who knows how to lay pavement or build bridges? If someone has medical training and can heal broken bones or remove tumors, does that make them more intelligent than a person who provides hospice care and shows unconditional love? If someone can engineer a major computer application (like Facebook or forum software), does that make them more intelligent than a person who builds a successful business using that software?
Yep, I know. Answer a question with 4 other questions... My point is that when you try to quantify something like intelligence, the variable may not be in the subjects (people) in which it's demonstrated, but rather in the thing (intelligence) itself.
