they are abilities. We could go in the other direction and say that
everything
the human mind does is an emotion. Logical thinking is an emotion, creative
thinking is an emotion, social ability is an emotion, etc. ad nauseum. The
reason the current social scientists are trying to call every human mental
ability an 'intelligence' is because real intelligence is the most respected
human ability, and they are trying to make every other ability be perceived
as
being of equal value. Its pure politically correct poppycock.

Oh that kind of PC, well that means nothing to me. I haven't the slightest
clue what's corret in yoru mind, or in someone else's. What I do know is that
for a computer to display intelligence that is HUMAn in nature, it needs to
display humor, creativity, originality, poppy cock and much, much more than
dry, IBM logic.
Nausea is optional.
