Intelligence (4)

intelligence- the ability to learn or understand or to deal with or trying new situation; the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's enviornment or to think absstractly as measured by objective criteria
intelligent- having or indicating a high degree of intelligence or mental capacity' revealing or reflecting good judgement or soundthought

By these definitions you can tell if a person is intelligent by the way that a person speaks and is able to convey one's thoughts. If a person can have a civilized conversation and can see another's point of view then he must be intelligent. My step dad always says "Better for people to think that you are a fool, than open your mouth and prove them right." But in reality there are many different kinds of intelligent people. There are the people that can dance and play football and there are those that know people well. So there are many different kinds of intelligence and everybody has a certain type of it.
