Re: Define Intelligence.
Obvioulsy everyone defines this term their own way (usually how it fits them), but I do think we focus too much on just IQ or "book smarts". I think a truly intelligent person would excel at those and aslo be gifted in mnay areas using "common sense" or "emotional intelligence". All are valid definitions, but i think the "intelligence" i admire would be the type to use all these areas.
Ive always believed one of the greatest signs of intelligence is the ability to be objective, though of course If I think im objective may not be being objective...
I think too many times "super-intelligent" people are unable to see their own flaws. just another generalization.
