success at practical projects that involve planning over several tasks related by a dependence graph, possibly branching or looping
talent in some particular domain (e.g. writing fiction, sleuthing, managing people, math, word puzzles)
skill at memorization, accumulation of theoretical knowledge
adopting behaviors which enhance or preserve your long-term prospects
Someone lacking the first would be called stupid, someone lacking the last would be called crazy (though we also use the term for mental illnesses, which are a different thing again).
Intelligence seems to be at least somewhat modular (idiot savants being the canonical demonstration). I wonder if there is some classification of biases by which parts of intelligence are affected.
We want to at least distinguish between
