Intelligence might best be defined as the ability of an organism (human or otherwise) to adapt to the changing demands of its environment. It is most assuredly a concept that differs from being "smart," and should always be measured with the consideration of the context in which it exists.

The measure of intelligence is the degree of understanding and ability to apply it constructively.

I believe in multiple types of intelligences.
I know some people with a "high" IQ that can't change a light bulb or dance.

In my opinion it is immeasurable, for some in the past have gained so much and lost it within a nights passing. Intellect is the only thing that cannot be measured you simply obtain it.

When you are able to not get caught up in it all,and expand your thoughts, actions, into doing more for others than yourself.
When you realize that all life is an illusion, and that all there really is left to do in the world is to "Love".
Then nothing in the world is as important as what money cannot buy....and you will find true happiness....in giving.

there is no such element as a "authentic degree" of intelligence. some staunch IQ advocates element to reasoning means as being representative of intelligence, yet this very definition fails to embody the savants (who're suggested with assistance from IQ tests to be "retarded") that ought to calculate complicated mathematical complications of their head in the previous one even contemplates on urgent the determination buttons on their calculator. "Intelligence" is the type of extensive idea that to remember on a try that ought to fairly quantify it with a make sure is in essence, incorrect, absurd and frivolous. it truly is a case of a statistician merely chasing his personal tail!

The level of ones experiences.
People learn through experience, so experience is knowledge. You can be told everything, but you still won't KNOW it untill you have experienced it.

Not to be morbid, but that's generally better known after they die. How intelligent is that?

Learning from your mistakes. Not repeating them out of simple minded stubbornness or wishful thinking.
