What is Intelligence ?

Lots of people tend to disagree on what intelligence really is. Some equate it with the ability to reason abstractly, others with the ability to learn and profit from experience in daily life. Some emphasize the ability to think rationally, others the ability to act purposefully. These qualities are all probably part of what most people mean by intelligence, but theorists weigh them differently. One of the longest running debates in psychology is whether a global quality called "intelligence" even exists. A typical intelligence test asks you to do several things such as provide a specific bit of information, notice similarities between objects, solve arithmetic problems, define words, fill in the missing parts of incomplete pictures etc. I personally think that these types of tests do not measure every aspect of intelligence. Sure, it might measure how smart someone is academically, but it leaves out other aspects like emotional intelligence and everyday life scenarios. There are two approaches to intelligence, in psychology: the psychometric approach and the cognitive approach. My view on what intelligence is, is more in tune with the cognitive approach. What do you think? Do you agree with me ?
