I found a nive quota about going past your own assumptions, from human point of view of intelligence

That is why I started to wonder if I know what intelligence is, as I have counted it from the human point of view. Now I think intelligence means the ways you react to changing conditions, using knowledge you have attained, and knowing yourself well enough to use the means that work best for you. What do you think?

Hi there)
I have a question about
"ways you react to changing conditions"
And if conditions do not change?

in my opinion intelligence is to find the way out of any situation, and to create situation/actions where they're not.

Hi there and good point Художник. You have made me realize that I think the situations in quite a complex way. Thank you!

It's true that it's not given that a situation will eventually change. So, then intelligence is managing yourself in any situation. I can change the situation, and if not, I can change how I feel about it

You're welcome!
Художник means Artist (or painter, that i think more rude )
By the way,Procyona, what your nickname mean?Thank you!
I see an Bruce Lee quote in your footer. Here is one of them
"To hell with situation. I create opportunities." i think he ment that in every situation you can find an opportunities.By your self By your "intelligence" ))))

Oh yeah, nice to meet you Художник - or Artist My name (Procyona) comes from a certain star, but you can as well call by my given name Milla. The
meaning of nicknames also discussed here: http://wcau.com.ua/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5334
(mine is the third post, if you are more interested about the name)

Thank you for the Bruce Lee quota, too. It is sure that there might not to
many doors in a hall, but much walls to break down to make paths Beside
intelligence, you also need wisdom to see the best possible way to go, I think.

nice to meet you)
i'll use a nickname so far, because we dont met in real life)
read a post about nicknames - thats awsome )   

[Procyona]

Thank you, I'll call you Artist then, if that is alright? feel free to tell more about your nick name there, too.

How do you think wisdom and intelligence differ? To my point of view, intelligence is knowledge that can be applied, and wisdom is intelligence that has formed to a personal view of life through practice.

Intelligence is an ability to learn. Wisdom is the experience we get once we do things we know.
