Intelligence is defined as having a sense of self awareness (I am alive), and also having the ability for spontaneous emotion (laughing at a joke).There are , however, comparative intelligence...(HIV adapting daily to hostile conditions in the immune system). Good luck trying to find one answer. Al

Intelligence is not limited to the ability to process information. Any computer can do that.
Intelligence is the ability of a life form to gather, process and use information about the world in a manner that allows the life form to change the world in such a way that it expands the power of the life form to change the world.

No, and anyone who says that they can is really giving you nothing more than an opinion.
HOWEVER....
there is increasing evidence that what we perceive as intelligence is physically linked to neuron density in the brain. So, a physiologic definition of intelligence might be derived from the number of neurons per square centimeter. This definition might be further subdivided by neurons per square centimeter in specific parts of the brain, the frontal lobes for example.
All this, of course, is pure conjecture, nothing more than my opinion.

There are two types of intelligence: learned and instinctual.

The ability to process information, whether it is from the senses, reason, or from a textbook.
Without the ability to process information, one cannot be intelligent, because you do not have the mental capacity to be.
