What in your opinion makes someone intelligent? How could you even test for it? Problem solving and being able to grasp abstract concepts would be what I'd go with I think. It would have to be something that someone from any time and space would be able to take part in though so make it fair.
What do you guys think about IQ tests? Has anyone gotten 100 on an online IQ test? Maybe they give answers too good to be true because I was usually got 130-140 is that what everyone else gets?

I think intelligence is someones learning quota... like a measurement on how fast an individual can solve a puzzle or grasp an abstract idea. Logic can help with this, but so can imagination. I think what you might be getting at is what makes an individual wise? Or as Socrates would ask can any of us truly ever be wise? ???

Logic, rationality and possibly perceptiveness or awareness.
