"F. Scott Fitzgerald said that 'the test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. For example, OJ did it, AND the police are corrupt."

-Bill Maher

There is no true measurement for intelligence. It depends on the subject matter, and how much a person knows about it. Every person has intelligence, its just a matter of learning how to use it.

I don't.

Intelligence is such a wide and varied thing that it doesn't conform well to objective testing. IQ tests only measure a very small part of the human intellect and while they may have some limited value in certain circumstances, I think that its a big mistake to put too much stock in them.

Einstein failed high school physics. You can't quantify intelligence.

you can scientifically measure intelligence with an IQ test but that doesn't mean anything a person can be book smart but not be street smart(dealing with life as it comes to you) true intelligence comes from how open minded you are if you crave for knowledge in all aspects of life your very intelligent

IQ only measures intelligence as far as logic and reason will take one, it not a good measurement for predicting ones ability to think in the abstract or their overall creativity. EQ; emotional quotient should also be considered along with SQ, spiritual quotient.

we can't talk about measuring intelligence...because the "intelligence" is relative and when you are measuring something you are doing something exact...but you can talk about the interpretation of intelligence

By obtaining a degree from a university. A degree indicates intelligence to all. Satisfy all the college requirements, accumulate the credits, obtain degree, bang...you're intelligent.

By the breath and scope of one's commitment to love.

Mother Theresa, for example, was intelligent.

Intelligence is aptitude and attitude. IF you are an open-minded person willing to learn, then you can consider yourself very intelligent.

Good luck!
