This passage emphasizes the fact that the term "Intelligence" ----.

The term intelligence is often used by biologists as
synonymous with the capacity to learn. An animal
that learns to adapt itself to a wide range of situations
is said to be more intelligent than one whose
behaviour is largely governed by instinct. In
psychology, on the other hand, so wide a definition is
not satisfactory. The simpler forms of teaming, at
least, can scarcely be said to manifest intelligence in
any sense remotely consistent with the ordinary
meaning of the term. It is customary, therefore, to
distinguish between learning of a more or less
repetitive and mechanical type and the solving of
genuinely new problems by creative means. It is the
latter rather than the former that we ordinarily ascribe
to intelligence and most psychologists allow their
definition of this term to be guided by popular usage.
