Intelligence is objective. Our ability to measure it completely may be lacking, but i see a lot of people with lack of intelligence calling intelligence measuring as useless. Well i can understand, noone wants to be called inferior, even if they are.
You make it sound so black and white. As I said in my earlier post Intellect is our ability to take knowledge and come to conclusions with it through reason. intellect is dependent on our knowledge, what we perceive and conclude, for us to present it in some fashion. Our knowledge is definitely subjective so our representation of intellect is also doomed to be subjective in some manner; at least at this point in time. This is why it is so difficult to standardise IQ tests and why some very clever people may not perform well on them.
