even retards are more intelligent than you, look up the savant syndrom. people with this condition have an iq below 70, yet they perform tasks you can only dream of. iq tests tell you how good you are at iq tests, nothing more. it's a meme. online tests are even more worthless.

>I used intelligence as ability to gasp new concepts, understand abstract ideas, quickly learn new things
then you used a made up definition, which makes the argument pointless. nice confirmation bias, you can't just cherry pick the parts which support your claims and completely ignore the rest. IQ tests do not measure all cognitive abilities and are therefor not capable of measuring general intelligence. have you every heard of the savant syndrome? savants are basically retarded, yet they possess skills you can only dream of.

>The most dramatic examples of savant syndrome occur in individuals who score very low on IQ tests, while demonstrating exceptional skills or brilliance in specific areas, such as rapid calculation, art, memory, or musical ability.

>A 1987 study by Hermelin, O’Connor and Lee looked at musical inventiveness in five musical savants compared to six non-savant children who had musical training over a period of two years but who had not been exposed to compositional or improvisational instruction
>on tests of musical competence—timing, balance and complexity—the savants (with a mean IQ of 59) were also superior

now watch these videos and tell me if you would call them less intelligent than you, just because they have low IQ scores.

and then show me how you, the intelligent one with the high IQ, can learn or do the same stuff these retards can do naturally.
