Yeah, what is your opinion on what the word "intelligence" means and references to? Please keep the dictionary definitions to a none. That's not what I'm asking for.

Streetwise

or

a decent education.

I really don't see a difference between wisdom and intellegence. They both mean knowledge about the world to me. Just being aware of plenty of facts.

intelligence, to me, is the ability to comprehend life, at the same time, learning/growing from the experience, ultimately expanding your intelligence....everyone is intelligent, to a certain degree of what the know, but thats when wisdom and knowledge kick in, to me anyways

It shouldn't matter. This thread is saying what is intelligence.. if you think there are only 2 kinds of intellect, one being the streets and the other being books.. then that is your answer. I'm just asking what everybody thinks intelligence is.

Intelligence = comprehension, i.e common sense.....u find alot of guys with "book smarts" but lack appliable sense..alot of times people get the terms "well-read" & "intelligent" mixed up......like e.x.....u get a dude that can resite hamilot on a wim....then goes home an spends six hours trying to assemble his daughter's big wheel with no luck......then u flip it...an u go to a mechanic shop an u see a guy wit a 6th grade education....who cant read but taught himself how to assemble & disassemble a car jus by simply looking under hoods an observing how everything was connected together...I think thats how u truly see someone's god given intelligence...not in they're compacity to memorize....but in their compacity to actually THINK!

However don't get me wrong...I am not saying don't read....because the people that truly impress me, possesses both intelligence as well as being well-read..thats the ultimate goal we should all shrive for....just in my opinion people don't recognize their two separate entities...to be mastered equally..an thats my two cents

Inetlligence to me is comon sense or the ablilty to think. Unlike being smart that just means u can do good in school. For example look at Kanye West (or any other rapper for that matter) he was considered stupid in school he even raps about how they wanted him in special ed classes. Now he makes more than anybody he went to school with and that takes intelligance
