according to the definition for intelligence on google intelligence is "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills." the ability to acquire skills is what IQ tests do though the use of Logic puzzles that anyone can do, that require no training. It's tests you on your ability to solve problems its culturally relevant because its a good way to measure the ability of people to figure shit out. and if people can do better on the tests with training then they can train themselves to be more intelligent

I think your problem is that everyone else is talking about this definition of intelligence, and I think that you mean something different when you say intelligence. You really need to define your terms if you want to have any kind of constructive dialogue otherwise everyone is just arguing past one another.

if you can train and improve on them then they do aggregate training. I.Q tests are based on the western model of understanding the world. This is why most African countries have very low marks. This is why most indigenous people don't do good on them. Take any high I.Q person in such a country and they will starve to death because the environment requires different kind of intelligence.

and if people can do better on the tests with training then they can train themselves to be more intelligent

actually not. if they stop training the I.Q falls back. in other words, intelligence is nothing but gaining expertise on a specific way of thinking.
