As the third child of the third child who placed first,second or third in his class,I grew up confident about my mental ability.Then at college intelligence was defined as all around general ability.Everyone knows who leads in science and technology,mathematics and certain related skills.Environment affects IQ; and it may bolster intelligence in a crisis.For example,I read a news story of a man who used the door of a fridge and a broom to scull to safety during the disaster in Loisiana.No matter what his IQ score says, I consider him ingenious and a genius to think of such an idea.I made the Dean's List(180/810)but I have not arrived;neither do I worry about IQ.I work at developing all around ability for crisis moments.

Intelligence is not how much you know, but how well you learn, and how well you can apply what you do know to new situations.  It is about understanding yourself and the world around you.  Intelligence is the ability to look at those around you and be at peace with them because differences are part of life.  \n\nThere are many ways of being intelligent.  It is not just about "book smarts".  People can be intelligent artistically, musically, mathematically, linguistically, with "hands on" tasks, etc.  Real intelligence involves a good smattering of common sense, an understanding of nature and the environment, the ability to show compassion, and an appreciation of different cultures and values.\n\nJust a few of my thoughts on the issue .... hope it helps.

One thing I do know is that even the most intellent being will never run out of things to learn.  \nThe more intelligent a person the more they can access information and find specific information.  A person of not such an intelligent dispostion can still learn through YA :D

To say someone is intelligent, sounds to be as if there is more "awe" in your description, "He/She is really intelligent." (almost as if you see yourself as less so)\n\nTo hear someone called clever, that has an amused quality to it, "That clever one fooled me once shame on them, but if they fool me twice shame on me". Not to imply a negativity, but just that cleverness seems a bit like a trick learned. Cleverness seeming to get people out of awkward situations and what not.\n\nWhere intelligence won't necessary boil down to savvy-ness. A person can be quite intelligent, and still find themselves in a pickle. Which they will resolve with careful examination and reason.\nA clever person will find themselves in a pickle, and see one of the few options out, be daring and go for it, and find themselves on the other side of the problem, having made it by the skin of their teeth.\n\nI like being considered intelligent, but I love to hear when I've been clever. Makes me think I'll live longer.

Education is not an indicator of intelligence. Education is a tool to enable you to better use your intelligence and increase your capabilities. All the education in the world will not make a dumb person smart, or give anyone the slightest amount of common sense.

Knowledge is best defined (I think) by Peter Senge as "the capacity for effective action."\n\nThink of Obi-Wan Kenobi: he is full of knowledge, because he knows exactly what to do and how to act effectively.\n\nSo to answer your question, I think the nature of knowledge is first mental.\n\nPeople often confuse knowledge with information. They often say that books contain knowledge, when in fact, books only contain information. That information becomes knowledge when you read it and integrate it into your long-term memory so you can use it at the right time and place.\n\nI would add to Senge's definition: "Knowledge is the capacity for effective action or superior discrimination."\n\nIn other words, knowledge should enable you to make better decisions because you can evaluate information better than the average person.

Wow! That is a great report. Unfortunately, it is a complete cut and paste from the website that was referred to and no attribution was placed in the text. Here's the original beginning:\n\nEmotional Intelligence: What it is and Why it Matters\nBy\nCary Cherniss, Ph.D.\n\nGraduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology\nRutgers University\n152 Frelinghuysen Road\nPiscataway, NJ 08854\n732-445-2187\n\ncherniss@rci.rutgers.edu\nwww.eiconsortium.org\n\nPaper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, New Orleans, LA, April 15, 2000 (1)\n\nI certainly can't improve upon it. I just wanted to see that the person who wrote it was given credit. This question has been sitting here for two months with that great report as the only answer, since I doubt anyone can top it.

Lowest form of wit but highest form of intelligence

A big problem is that we ourselves can't pinpoint a definition of intelligence. We have tests for intelligence (e.g. the Turing test) but there is still disagreement as to whether passing this test would consititute being intelligent (e.g. the Chinese room experiment). With no clearly stated goal, we can't formulate a feasible strategy for reaching the goal, nor can we definitively say we have reached the goal.

Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. In common parlance, the term smart, metaphorically used is frequently the synonym of situational and behavioral (i.e. observed and context dependent) intelligence.\n\nAlthough many regard the concept of intelligence as having a much broader scope, for example in cognitive science and computer science, in some schools of psychology, the study of intelligence generally regards this trait as distinct from creativity, personality, character, or wisdom.

people see intelligence in different ways, its like street smarts and book smarts. And there's a difference between wisdom and being smart. It depends on how YOU judge whos intelligent, if you judge by their high office job, i feel like some people up there did have to get some heads rolling. Its like I think I'm a lot more wise then smart, I mean I dont know how to word things and crunch numbers, but i still think I'm pretty witty. So anyawys answer to your question, not all the time, no

It is actually both. I also believe it is how well you grasp and see things.  It is basically how you think and learn.  The only part of the test that would prolly be taught(what you know) is the math stuff. You can find more detail here.\n\nAn intelligence quotient or IQ is a number derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group. An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively); IQ is described as a "quotient" because, originally, it represented the ratio between a person's "mental age" and actual chronological age.\n\nFor people living in the prevailing conditions of the developed world, IQ is highly heritable, and by adulthood the influence of family environment on IQ is undetectable. IQ test scores are correlated with measures of brain structure and function, as well as performance on simple tasks that anyone can complete within a few seconds.\n\nIQ is correlated with academic success, job performance, socioeconomic advancement, and "social pathologies". It is taken by psychologists to be an excellent proxy for intelligence, and possibly the best measurable definition of intellectual ability, but generally not taken to represent intelligence perfectly. Recent work has demonstrated links between IQ and health, longevity, and functional literacy.

Here is the correct answer to your question. I would define smartness as how well a person does in their own enviorment. Example, you have some poeple who are street smart, you have some people who are book smart. Being smart at something, doesn't make you a smart person. Having all around smarts would make you a intelligent person.\nwhat do u thnk abt my answer? boxnndatol22@yahoo.com

Intelligence is a general mental capability that involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. In psychology, the study of intelligence is related to the study of personality but is not the same as creativity, personality, character, or wisdom.\n\nAn intellectual is a person who uses his or her intellect to study, reflect, or speculate on a variety of different ideas.involving the faculty of knowing, perceiving, reasoning, reflecting.

Let me rephrase: you're saying that if person who usually gives sound advice or "correct answers" achieves a high score and a complete idiot achieves a similarly high score, then what the hell is the meaning of a high score?  Interesting question, so I'll take my shot at this.\n\n\nA high score will mean something different for the smart guy and the not-so-smart guy.\n\nFor the "smart guy", it will confer a sense of accomplishment that he/she has done some sort of civic duty, and it may even help reinforce that person's G-d complex (speaking about myself here)\n\nFor the "not-so-smart guy", it allows that person to, of nothing else, attempt to become smarter by stretching himself, i.e., answering different types of questions.  If other people criticize his/her answers, and this person takes the time to analyze this feedback, then the person is already improving him/herself.  \n\nLastly, one unifying meaning of a high score, regardless of who you are, is that you have no problem reaching out to people, at least not in online social situations (offline social situations is another story completely.

It means who dont have the correct approach toeards studying. You need to be more careful and attendive when you read a sentance or a problem.. Remember each and every bookis written by an author who was jus like u in his childhood. Where did he gain all his intelligence and knowledge. Every result has come with experimentation. We are learning the world and objects to enhance our knowledge on them . All the concepts and results and facts are jus been confirmed only with experimentation .Your work in studying really depends on your memory and your way of approach.
