Intelligence means nothing, decisions do. And the two don't neccessarilly correspond.

What do you mean it "means nothing"? Surely it must mean something. How are we supposed to gauge how mentally able people are?

Not by their ability to guess patterns, that's for sure. Based on IQ tests, I'm a below average human when it comes to intelligence, yet through my life I've been offered three separate times to skip a grade or two because of being ahead. Gauging intelligence is indeed meaningless, judge only by what the person is capable of and shows.

Isn't academic achievement another one of those things that's supposedly worthless in measuring "real intelligence?"

Yes. There are things people are good in, and things people are not. Just because someone is incapable of excelling in certain academic courses, does not mean they aren't smart in other categories.

Guess? There is a pattern to every one of the problems. Obviously, some are tremendously easy while others are inordinately difficult. This roughly corresponds to intelligence.
Although, the problem with most IQ tests is that you can guess your way to a high score. A better system would be to take the test with a proctor and explain each of the problems; that will gauge intelligence much better.
Also, intelligence != knowledge; one can be one without being the other.

I hate the persistent, loud, barking machines more commonly known as dogs that live next door and won't shut the hell up.

So I finally got this Facebook timeline deal. I posted some weird stuff when I was a freshman in high school. Ugh. I don't really want to be reminded of my pubescent self. I wish Facebook didn't really keep track of all that janx.
I get the Daily Telegraph for free.
Insert comment about firelighters.Moderator Action: Some posts below and above deleted.
Seriously, if you must have Fakebook, don't give any details and never upload something you don't want people to see. They have a nasty habit of lying to their customers, pretending to delete information which they do not delete, changing their privacy policy without warning, etc. etc.Once you post something on the internet, it's out there forever.
Hope that makes you feel better.

It was a facetious rant. I don't really care if it's out there, I just don't want to be reminded of it.
