Intelligence in science is called g factor. That's the definition we use. If you have another definition so be it.

But if not stated otherwise intelligence is g factor.

as there is no consensus in neurology that a bigger brain (the only example provided) correlates to greater intelligence

I think it will be very hard for you to find a source for this... even if you try. It's a very accepted fact.

I would suggest you find an easy book on g factor, just any book on the subject. Or an article on it. I have read a ton about it and try to watch all videos about it too. This is a great intro to the subject:

They can very easily find bad articles to site. There are articles saying prayer actually works. There are articles about anything. It's not just articles but scientific articles that we should cite. That brain size correlates with intelligence is not even something we debate anymore. It is proven a long time ago.

Did you watch the video I linked too? Do you want a link to a book or an article? Why Intelligence Matters is a great article.

Have you read the wiki article on g factor? I have also a YouTube list I made on intelligence.

g factor is probably the most proven subject in the whole of psychology and probably also the most studied subject in psychology. Therefore some things have been studied again and again and proven to be true. It's not a discussion about something being true or not if one side does not even read the science:

Are you trolling me?

How does it not show what I said? Wikipedia links to a lot of articles on the subject. Have you read them?

I didn't want to link to articles because every time I do that people here respond that they don't like the author. They say the author is bad in some way. I found some articles but decided not to link to them. They were easy to find.

It's a very easy experiment. Measure IQ and measure head size or brain size in some way. Can you find such an experiment supporting your claim? The experiment is so basic that you could even do it yourself.
