The ability to assess and conclude with accuracy.
On the other hand, and in a word, "No".
"Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with his experience."
How do you 'No' ...as in not possible to be defined?
Well, yes, at least by your "few words" criteria.Originally Posted by Nacian
I think maybe your query is well-suited to a word game such as "define intelligence in under ten words" or something like that. That will hopefully draw out simple metaphors and short process pronouncements like mine.
Otherwise the debate will grow wordy-wordy in no time flat! It's inherent to the subject.
edit: If you haven't studied intelligence in depth, you should. It's a fascinating subject with much intricacy and individual-meaning.

Intelligence cannot be defined, but only used.
Do you think we are all born intelligent?
The ability to know when not to get involved.What is Your Definition of Intelligence?
The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"
Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)

Hey that is cool Bilston.
The ability to reason.
Do not think it a kindness.
Got it in one. And we're born with it. It is subject to development like all of our other abilities. Therein lies the rub.

The ability to form complex thoughts and use logic.
I'm a turkey!
I'm also a Mentor. What does that mean? It means if you have any questions, all you have to do is ask me. My job is to help you feel comfortable here. (The mods' job is to take away cookies as punishment. Twisted fiends.)

As you think, so shall you become.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird that sings.
Sometimes all our thoughts are misgiven.
Indeed..very well said.
Yes, I think so. It's like how we all have thumbs yet not everyone can open a pickle jar.
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. -Sir Francis Bacon
So we are all born with the ability to acquire intelligence rather than being born intelligent. The same as having an inherent ability to acquire language, but we cannot speak from birth.
