What is YOUR definition of intelligence?!
Question: Mine: the ability to not be bored with learning.....
Answers: Mine: the ability to not be bored with learning.....
for me Intelligence would be the ability to not make the same mistake twice.
And wisdom would be the ability to apply what I learn through intelligence.
smart
Mind over matter =]
knowledgeable in all subjects that actually matter.
Common sense
Just to elaborate,
Just because someone can blitz all their subjects with perfect marks, doesn't automatically make them intelligent. Intelligent people to me are those that make decisions based on rationale, rather than someone with 37 college degrees.
Ability to function in the widest possible array of situations.
having the ability to understand and learn new things
The ability to learn.
To apply what you learn to your life.
The capacity to apprehend facts. The ability to retain and understand what you have been taught.
Groucho Marx, he was intelligent!!!
My personal definition:
Some who constantly challenges me to think.
In the company of someone such as Sir Issac Newton, or Albert Einstein, I almost certainly would be perceived as a drooling Idiot, but around some of my friends, I might be thought of as having some intelligents.
So intelligents might be a relative thing..
Want to be intelligent?
Then make sure your friends aren't!! ------Its a joke!!!
