In my view, we need to stop putting all notions of intelligence on a pedestal. In my opinion, it interferes with productive science. It's useful to know that mentally rotating an object is a task that allows you to sort people by IQ, roughly. It's less useful to have studies that say "aww it's okay if you take long to solve hard problems, it's actually a sign of intelligence." It just creates cope.
