What exactly is the difference in meaning of "intelligence", "rationality", and "optimization power" as used on this site?

"Intelligence" is often defined as being the "g-factor" of humans - which is a pretty sucky definition of "rationality".

Go to definitions of "intelligence" used by machine intelligence researchers and it's much closer to "rationality".
