An intelligent person has doubts, questions, and tries to find solutions. An intelligent person knows that they do not know it all.

I am another that thinks measuring intelligence isn't the whole story. I've met some who are not necessarily intelligent but their common sense and street smarts allow them to survive - sometimes better than the really smart ones.

I agree. I know many very educated people that are actually "dumb as a rock" and vice versa.

Yes, both great answers too!

Re: How do you measure someone's intelligence?

There are very few people who are "smart" in all aspects and all fields. For me, for general purposes, I'll take someone with passion and common sense as a confidant and go to person. In areas of specialty, obviously I look to someone who has the education to provide the best services possible and that requires both the education, a hunger to continue to learn and the ability to apply what they've learned and willing to think outside the box.

It's not the size that matters ... it's how they use it. Wink Takes my breath away! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}
