Answer 1

I think, more accurately, intelligence is the ability to express the knowledge that you have in a constructive way.

Possessing intelligence doesn't do much good if you don't use it to make the world a better place in some way, shape or form. Same with the ability to learn in my opinion. You can get straight A's all of your life, but what are you doing with all that you've learned. Intelligence must be put into action in order to be of value.

Answer 2

The amount of knowledge is a factor. The ability to acquire and retain new knowledge is also a factor. More importantly, though, is how you use that knowledge.
I would define true intelligence as wisdom. And this only comes with the combination of knowledge and common sense. Common sense cannot be learned. Either you have it or you don't. All the knowledge in the world won't help you if you can't decide whether or not to jump out from in front of a speeding car.

Answer 3

Well both, but I you know just because you know a lot and have an awesome ability to learn doesn't really make you that intelligent. The average American today has access to an almost infinite amount of information (via the internet) yet two-thirds cannot check a car's oil, file taxes, or add fractions.

I think intelligence has more to do with how you apply knowledge.

Answer 4

An individual's level of intelligence is 1: The ability to learn and 2: The ability and effectiveness of how they use what they learn.

I have known at least one man who could not read, but he could build a tremendous engine.
I think too much emphasis is placed on rote learning, rather than learning things that will be able to be used later.

Answer 5

Intelligence is defined differently depending on whether its an individual, group or business. groups would say you are intelligent if you are very good at a particular subject, a business would think of intelligence as being versitile in many subjects and an individual will think you are intelligent if you simply agree with thier own knowledge and outlooks. It's Alot like beauty. It's in the eyes of the beholder or the 'perciever' in this case.

Answer 6

To me, being intelligent means to be able to do something with the knowledge one has. For instance, make a difference in one's or somebody else's life. What's the point of just accumulating all the knowledge and not being able to do something with it? I don't think that's intelligent enough. And same goes for having the ability to learn. Stale knowledge is not a real knowledge. Real knowledge is wisdom.

Answer 7

I think being intelligent is not so much how much knowledge you posess but how you acquire that knowledge. The most intelligent person in the world might not know a lot about things. I think an intelligent person can analyze any problem with sound reasoning.

Answer 8

To me, intelligence is the combination of several factors: perception, logic, the speed at which one connects known facts, to some degree the total number of facts known (knowledge), the ability to discern what facts are needed, the skill of acquiring new facts, the ability to analyze the results of actions taken, and the ability to take different actions if the first actions did not achieve the desired result.

Answer 9

those i have taken were genuinely a attempt of intelligence. with the flexibility to perceive kinds in images and are available up with the subsequent logical answer, be conscious institutions, perceive kinds interior of a chain of numbers,math complications, etc...i'd like to imagine they are precise (I did all acceptable each and anytime i became examined) although as Pope reported your body of innovations on the time performs a huge element, being nicely rested earlier taking the attempt made a large difference of 18 pts between my worse and staggering score.

Answer 10

"You can have both; yet, still be an idiot. Its all relative." Said with a smile. However, it seems to me that you can't have one without the other, and if I had to choose, I would vote for " the ability to learn." Animals do not have the same ability to learn as we do. Therefore, they cannot know the Father (God) as we do.

What good is our knowledge without the ability to learn of God?
And thats my final answer..;-)
