Intelligence is a dynamic attribute that is extremely difficult to measure using static tests. Most folks are "gifted" in one area or another. The trick is to discover where your individual talents lie. I can't finish Rubik's cube either, but I'm sure the people who can do it well have a special talent for pattern recognition and spacial arrangement that can translate into useful skills.
For what it's worth, graduate degrees are a greater measure of
perseverance than intelligence, and that's a gift that is far more rare and valuable.
