> Maybe I am not smart enough for this, but can someone define "General Intelligence" for me?

I think about this a lot and frankly don't have a good answer, but my current definition is something like "the speed and the depth at which someone can synthesize and comprehend new ideas."

It's by no means perfect, but when I observe people around me that just "seem smart" to me, the above statement is generally true.
