    Intelligence
In summary: Gray matter. Another theory is that the neurons in the gray matter of the brain are more numerous and more active than those in other parts of the brain. This might be the reason why people who are intelligent and educated often have a larger head than people who are not intelligent or educated." In summary, intelligence is the general rating of the 'quality' of many aspects of one's thought process, in different applications. It is biological as well as experiential.

Intelligence is when you get nerds in pocket protectors to do all the work then you get paid for it. Then you have time to post to forums at 4:30am in the morning and visit the State Hermitage's website...

At least that's what they told me at the Junior College I attended...

so what kind are you?
the one in the pocket or the other way round?:rolleyes:

I should think that a definition of intelligence should include a capacity or 'knack' for learning. I wouldn't know how to go about measuring it, however.
