I can't guarantee I'll watch that video, but I can guarantee I intend to watch it when I can.
Generally speaking, though, I do agree that most people's idea of "intelligence" is very anthro-centric, if that's what you mean.
No pressure to watch the video, especially as not everyone enjoys consuming content in that form.
Anthrocentrism is part of what I mean, especially if we consider that historically, colonialism has had a lot of power to draw the line between who "counts" as fully human or not. A depressingly common motif is the cyclical logic of "this is what we understand human intelligence to be" -> "these people do not have the signifiers of human intelligence that we understand" -> "therefore these people aren't intelligent" -> (those people are less likely to be considered as the general understanding of 'intelligence' expands and evolves).
Yeah, the sociological side of "quantified" intelligence has a whole host of issues.
