    I dont know... I love Socrates for this very reason... there is no answer, but he learned more about what is wrong from people and never found the right answer... LOVE IT ... He was killed for this however, because all he did was ask questions... You should read about him if you like philosophy

    True intelligence is revealed in actions.

    There is a difference between knowing alot and using alot of knowledge. Real intelligence is reflected when we use what we know effectively.

    it means to me that you are really inntelligent the day you realize how dumb you are, and thus you never ever stop trying to learn

    many very intelligent people have no practical sense,and many very bright people are not good teachers cuzz they cannot understand average kids learning process

    Answered how you use what you know

    Certainly how you use what you know. According to IQ testing this is likely not factual, but in the world today, intelligence is judged by how you use what you know. A person without a college degree can advance and elevate in the work place just by exhibiting creative, intelligent solutions. It is a matter of using intelligence, not learning intelligence in a book.

    Answered how you use what you know

    A blend of both, but what is the point of just 'knowing' things, if you don't use that knowledge for good?

    Answered how much you know

    It is the ability to establish and realize rational conclusions based on accumulated perceptions, stored as memories and accessed through a conscious effort, it is the humane alternative to intuition and emotional reflex behaviors… through Intelligence we are able to evaluate situations and project consequences, while minimizing the expenditure human resources…

    no matter how much you know, if you're not intelligent, you won't be able to use it

    Answered how much you know

    Hmm.. I'd have to say intelligence is how much you know, while something like "street smarts" or just "smarts" are how you use what you know.

    I know some very intelligent people that don't function very well in this world.
