Default Yeah I agree with most of this

Obviously if you can't recall what 2 signifies you can't understand 2+1. Of course there are all kinds of IQ tests - I was speaking of the standard ones back when I was in High School in the early 70s. One test made by researchers for primitive tribes was designed where the natives would classify shapes found around them in nature, such as rocks and plants. With this test the natives scored high scores. Then they applied the standard civilized tests or matching polygon objects to polygon holes. The natives scored horrible. But then they took the natural shape test to students in civilizaed schools and found they did scored low when trying to deal with the real shapes found outside a civilized setting.

BUt my view is like elite_hunter_sh3

To me intelligence begins with a CPU. Without a CPU all the memory ram in the world is as intelligent as a mass of mere crystals. But for a CPU to really perform complex crunching it has to have lots of data storage. But for both to produce results they need lots of good data and programs.
