Your point is well-made. However, you miss the deep issue—why is it that IQ test problems don’t require the vastly important functions and capabilities that lobotomized patients lack?
The answer to that question, I believe, reveals the difference between being bright—which IQ is an approximate measure of—and being intelligent—which IQ doesn’t indicate.

Can you elaborate on your working definitions of “bright” and “intelligent”? They don’t seem to map onto mine.
Yeah. I’d prefer to do so in a post rather than a comment, though. I should have something ready in a few days.
