It's wrong because people criticized my post before I edited and corrected it and because people didn't understand that the question was intentionally misspelled? If it's alright with you, I'd like to discuss the subject matter, since I'm pretty sure all the criticism is based on a misunderstanding. | ||

Since you mentioned multiple intelligences... I had to study the theory of multiple intelligences by Dr. Howard Gardner from Harvard. He breaks intelligence down into several components: -Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"): -Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") -Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") -Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") -Musical intelligence ("music smart") -Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") -Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") -Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") but that's just his take on it and is by no means conclusive. | ||

1) understanding and the ability to regurgitate facts and stuff => brute force memorization and familiarity 2) the ability to think of new things, to create, form new ideas and add to the society's general brain. often requires a lot of familiarity of a subject in the first place (re (1)), and what some might call 'creativity' even though that is debatable. basically computers are only good at #1, drawing conclusions like #2 shows is a human thing. the importance of either section compared to each other isn't straightforward, nor is it straightforward to measure the amount of one of these in a human. most good ideas come from luck mixed in with so-called 'genius' anyways. tl;dr no good way to measure intelligence, isnt that obvious? | ||

Intelligence is in fact probably best measured just by other your friends who know you, and they kinda decide how intelligent you are compared to those around you. Smart is more of being academically intelligent, so it may not apply to a writer how can't crunch numbers, or a progamer who isn't very good in school. However, you can say they are intelligent instead, and it would be true. | ||

Smart- Your ability to process information quickly. (A smart person would be very good at math) Knowledge- How much shit you know and can retain. (A knowledgeable person would be very good at history) Intelligence- The ability to understand and apply your knowledge. (An intelligent person would be very good at composition) | ||

Being a great politician and getting people to work together is also a highly ordered state. Being able to anticipate anther's actions is ordered. Great poetry and literature is ordered. Haha what an esoteric way of looking at it. I think this could be considered a 'theme' (of many) of determining intelligence, but is in no way a guideline. | ||

My Poli Sci professor says that intelligence is the ability to quickly deduce solutions to problems and nothing else. However, most Psychologists and people who study intelligence agree that intelligence is multi-faceted. I can see where he is coming from...I think he probably would accept all of the other types of intelligence, but would attach prefix words to them. He probably considers raw intelligence to be processing power. | ||

I'm not sure that's related to intelligence so much as to control. Scientists created the atom bomb...And what contemporary society had more 'order' than Nazi Germany? And Hitler was pretty dumb. | ||
