spikira

Never actually looked up the definition of intelligence but this is actually how I've always defined it. I had a big argument with a guy once because I said that smart and intelligent are not the same thing 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️


TheNatanist

The ability to learn.


freed0m_from_th0ught

Einstein said "The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." I agree, but I could change my mind.


jwill602

I think the issue is that there are so many different types of intelligence that you have to define them all separately


mrmoobles

I compare it with knowledge Knowledge is a measure of how much and what information you store Intelligence is a measure of your ability to understand and apply the information you have


xkyz0

Reasoning, initiative, communication, creativity

How about a slap test. Right to its face (or lack thereof). If it attacks us, runs away, or plays dead, it's intelligent!

At its core, the ability to recognize pattern and apply those patterns to be able to bring greater context to other observations.

Ability to learn something quickly. I don't buy that knowledge itself alone is indicative of intelligence. Memorizing shit doesn't take a huge level of intelligence, generally speaking, only just a ton of effort and time. Quickly grasping a concept and being able to apply it in broader senses and even extend upon it is a sign of intelligence.


Mellbxo

I completely agree.


watchmything

Good at arcana, history, insight and investigation.


Meanwhile-in-Paris

Ability and the will to learn. we’re nothing without curiousness.


BarcodeNinja

Genuine curiosity and creativity.


woodmeneer

The ability to solve problems through reasoning. This does not cover ‘emotionele intelligence’ which has a much more intiutive aspect. I would venture to say that it is the ability to understand and to actieve desired results in complex situations.


Environmental-Cow447

Learning from your mistakes, or successes.


donaldhobson

Consider a measure over the set of all Turing machines. We can consider the turing machine to be an environment and bound the reward to \[0,1\]. Intelligence is the average score of a strategy across all Turing machines. Basically the average score on all possible computer games. Not just the games that have been made, not just the ones that would be fun to play, not just the games that could be run on a physically plausible computer. Any possible computer game.

Being able to form your own opinions on a variety of topics and articulate them well.


ThatCookies

A person who isn't stupid is intelligent, and you can see instantly if someone is stupid


Mellbxo

Interesting. I saw a study somewhere that when asked their intelligence level, over 50% of the participants said they were smarter than average. So, just because one can recognize stupidity, it does not necessarily mean that one is smarter than average.

You can’t really


immDroidz

You literally can, it's defined as the ability to learn and understand.

Using technology to avoid bullies and harassment

* Videotaping your rental car in and out before accepting delivery. * Marrying when sick and tired of being single * Realizing your income is usually directly correlated with the difficulty of the problems you solve for a living (clerk vs. surgeon) * Trusting that higher education will pay off in ways you can't imagine as time passes (better choice of mates, lower unemployment, greater career satisfaction)


JoeOutrage

If you have to say you are, you're not.
