It does not seem to me that 'intelligence' excludes ("rejects") paperclip maximizers and happy-face tilers.

Does it seem to some that the limited goals of some (hypothetical) beings necessarily prevents them from being intelligent? Is this a failure of imagination, of seriously considering something that is smarter than humans but much more extremely focused in terms of its goals?
