How do you evaluate one's intelligence? Is it on how high his grades are or do you have any other measures?
As every student struggles for getting a high grade in school, it is not to be a basis in evaluating one's intelligence. There are a lot of ways a person can demonstrate his intelligence. There are people who are may be good in academics but there are also those who excel in different areas.
What is your take on this?

I disagree with the notion of grades being the sole basis of one's intelligence. I know a lot of successful and intelligent people who didn't do THAT well in school but upon entering the "real world" managed to excel in their fields. Grades do not completely measure the mental capabilities of an individual.

I never struggled to get high grades in school when I actually applied myself to the classes I was taking.
Most of the time they bored me, so I'd sit there reading novels or writing stories instead of paying attention to what the teachers were trying to get me to learn. The only classes I really ended up applying myself to were the foreign languages I took.
