Intelligence can be broadly defined as an ability or a capacity to learn. Testing is not easy though, because a person who excels at one skill may perform poorly on another. One must look at a set of skills, and how those skills are weighted in the scoring.
It's been my observation that most intelligence tests rely far too heavily on knowledge people already have.

There is no "key factor" of intelligence.
There are several types of intelligence:
Linguistic
Logical/Mathematical
Bodily/Kinesthetic
Spatial
Musical
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
You can usual take a brief survey to determine in what areas of intelligence you excell at.

I honestly believe the key factor to intelligence is guided, and extremely focused visualization and independent thinking (which is extremely rare).
A lot of people appear to be intelligent, but are more just good at making impressions.
Many people are afraid to be ridiucled by others, and this the point where intelligent thought degrades.

I beleive a person's emotional well being is key factor in intelligence along with biology, chemistry and nurturing.
