Nope, intelligence is how much you know. That's why the IQ measures how much you know.

What is intelligent about how much you know, according to the dictionary definition?

Do you honestly believe Shcrodinger was a genius because he knew alot about maths?

If this was an IQ test you'd of just lost 2 points, 1 for not knowing what intelligence is and another not knowing that IQ tests don't measure intelligence.

Which is why that was an unintelligent comment :p , because the intelligent know that intelligence is about how well you can reason and logic.

There are "mentally-********" children that can memorize whole dictionaries and encyclopedias, but they wouldn't be able to do anything with all that information except recite it. So by your statement, they're a lot smarter than you or me.

To a point, yes. But we have better capacities to understand, while those inflicted with mental disorders do not.

Well, there have been claims by people that many posters here think they're smarter then the average person. We'll use the loose definition of "smart" as "capabilities to learn various topics and make rational arguments".

The question is how do you view the people on this forum? In general, how smart do you find the people on this forum compared to average people?

You can expound on that. Maybe regarding education level, experience, discussion civility, etc.
smarter than you!

Yes, even I know that. Every word exudes wisdom and their brilliance is illuminated in every post. I'm honored that I can read and participate as the sages discuss. Maybe one day, I can be one of their scribes.

I was joking.
So was I. I don't think the people here are that smart ;)
