Intelligance is your capacity to learn, and how quickly you do. People confuse this with how much you actually know, or your own knowledge.

intelligence is the state of mind including the related abilities, understanding, the capacity of an individual in solving the problems, planning a situation, solving queries. Intelligence is measured by intelligence quotient. ones intelligence is dependent on the genetic pool of the generation and this is also influenced by the environment the individual grows up, the food he takes etc. everybody cannot be intelligent from his child hood, we can also improve our intelligence by observation, by taking good healthy food and now a days, more people are concentrating on meditation and yoga, i say you that these two things work out good, i advice you to do meditation and yoga daily to increase your intelligence.

Hi, There is a technique through which one's IQ can be evaluated. Surprisingly, the results seem to vary around a mean value when you undertake multiple tests on a single subject. The reason for this variation is that the test need active mental participation of the subject. The subject can't be expected to have same mental state. Mental health is highly dependent on the surroundings. Very few person can actually stay independent of his surroundings for a significant amount of time. Without undertaking any such scientific tests you can still have an idea about one's level of intelligence. This can be done through prolonged observation of the subject. A person who makes facile remarks all the time can't be considered intelligent. A person who busies himself in passing derogatory remarks about others is not intelligent either. A person with crude sensibility and timing is an intelligent person. An intelligent person not only possess a valid sense of reasoning and calculation, but also knows quite well where and how to implement them. An intelligent person almost always involve themselves in witty conversations. They are inclined in avoiding dull discourse which bores them to a great extent. Thanks. God bless you
