Nothing really. All of these supposed intelligence tests are arbitrary and only measure how good you are at taking such tests.

Well, really there's nothing reasonable that would let you measure how effectively intelligent a person is. You can measure proficiency in some fields depending on how you define "success" and how finely you dice the roles (An engineer successfully building a part with minimal mistakes) and you can measure how well-informed someone is in certain fields (Believing in the EM-drive, the Hyperloop or Elon's intercontinental rocket shuttle are all good ways to show you aren't very well informed) at times, but general intellegence is unreasonable in the extreme.

Unsuprisingly, the good his policies do for the US are only related to how shrewd he is -negatively- if you genuinely think he's doing it for the good of the US (You think he's a Russian puppet so it's clearly not) and it only shows him as being more shrewd if his plan really is to hurt the US since he'll be able to twist republicans into it.

Shazria has opened its borders to refugees in order to keep its economy going. We have an ageing population and low birth rate.

If there was no free will involved, not even the slightest bit, there wouldn't be an investigation because it would be even easier to prove that Trump is a spy than it already will be. This is why neither side during the cold war relied on constant, never ending updates to their agents.

If Trump is Russia aligned, he is operating with very large degrees of freedom to achieve Russian aims. This makes sense, considering Putin is literally ex-intelligence services.

He is a shrewd politican to get into Putin's inner circle, and moreso for having convinced half the country that he should lead. More yet more so for continuing to lead the republicans.

Are you assuming that a) different Native Americans had the same religion and b) that they all have the same creation story?

Because neither are true. In fact, Native Americans, had various beliefs across the Americas, and there are various different creation accounts between them. You could say they were just as diverse as Asia in terms of their religious beliefs.
