Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. In common parlance, the term smart, metaphorically used is frequently the synonym of situational and behavioral (i.e. observed and context dependent) intelligence.
Although many regard the concept of intelligence as having a much broader scope, for example in cognitive science and computer science, in some schools of psychology, the study of intelligence generally regards this trait as distinct from creativity, personality, character, or wisdom.

Well...it's certainly a means to objectively demonstrate a level of intelligence, but it doesn't say everything about intelligence. Are you going for something in particular here? What do YOU think?

some of the most intelligent ppl i know just got bored mugging for exams and stuff .....and they usually excelled in only the subjects they found interesting and could get really lousy grades for the more "boring" ones so grades are no indicators at all to rank ones intelligence

It's one of many ways someone could demonstrate intelligence. However, it is perfectly possible to be very intelligent and not necessarily get good grades.

Not necessarily, but it would be a good indicator. I mean, if you want to get on in the world, the intelligent thing to do is get good grades.
