For example, a painter who creates a work of art may work slowly to get to the form he wants to achieve, so in this case this sort of intelligence is surely not defined by what IQ tests are measuring.

Also, at some point intelligence is not a question of speed of processing, since the depth of someone's pattern recognition has little to do with speed of processing, but with other variables. IQ testing is done under time constraint, deep thinking and insight are not a product of time-contrained performance.

This focus on qualitative measuring of "intelligence" comes from the Ameritard conception of mental abilities. They took Binet's test made to separate children with some form of mental retardation or developmental disability from "normal" ones and made an altar to it, because of the business model of Ameritard system of education (based on funding and measurable "performance").
