DESIGN (n.): 1.) the quality of having purposefulness.

I don't know if I have any problem with definitions of intelligence, but I would like you to explain what you mean by purposefulness. Could you possibly describe a test for purposefulness?

No. At least not a test that would satisfy the strict scientific definition of testing. Does that mean the word "design" should be left out of scientific inquiry altogether?
