(4) doesn’t seem useful if you’re trying to understand what you mean by intelligence anyhow. Tautology is tautology.
I mostly learn about the parts of how I define intelligence by meeting people who have more of one part or another. I have never met anyone who has lots of (2) but not (3) or vice versa.
My list would be:
Ability to make connections between known information, to see the relevance of new information or make analogies between field of knowledge.
Ability to learn quickly, to absorb and retain information well.
Ability to quickly and reliably solve problems that are straightfoward. A sort of depth and thoroughness of knowledge and application.
Insert the “7 types of intelligence” here. Various cognitive skills, gotten by a mix of talent and practice, are a sort of intelligence, but are not meta-skills like the first three.

I’m trying to understand whether my intuitive conception of intelligence corresponds to anything. One of my main sources of data is talking to people, so minimally it would be nice to know how much predictive power this data actually has.

Oh, derp, forgot your post was called “testing intelligence,” not “parts of the definition of intelligence.”
