How do you define "INTELLIGENCE"?

Intelligence can be defined in every aspect or modes a person can think. Some say you are intelligent because you can follow instructions and guidelines before posting to this discussion. Some say you are intelligent because you tend to react to those discussions in just a matter of short sentences. Others might say you are intelligent because you can do a post in just one minute. Defining intelligence is not limited to what we do define them but also a response to what others want to know what you know about intelligence.

Simply I think that interest make the intelligence.

According to me intelligence is the ability to take right decisions at right time of your life. I say this because the life of a person is completly depends on the two thins. 1. The opportunity he gets. 2. The decisions he takes. We don't really have a control on the number or type of opportunities we get in life. So, the only that we do have a part to make our life better is decisions. So, if a person can take right decisions in proper time, he is intelligent.

I define intelligence with two simple words: common sense. Book learning is great, and there is a lot to be said for it, but without common sense, all of your formal education will be for naught. I'd rather have sense than all of the degrees that this world has to offer.
