I prefer
"Intelligence:
The ability to achieve a variety of complex goals."
or
"Intelligence:
The ability to achieve a variety of complex goals in complex environments."
When attached to a suitable mathematical formalization of the notion of
complexity, this becomes a rigorous definition. But it is not easily
attached to an IQ test since mathematical formalizations of complexity tend
to rely on slippery things like Universal Turing Machines...
