What notimp said.

Many researchers have defined intelligence differently, but they all boil down to a combination of memory and problem-solving abilities.
in·tel·li·gence
noun
1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Also repeatedly mentioned in the definitions is: rational thought and the ability to deal with cognitive complexity.

Intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with indoctrination or education, nothing to do with a surrounding culture or religious dogma - unless these environments replace facts with fairy tales and squash the individual ability for rational analytical thought.
