The concept of intelligence is very broad and in many cases it is difficult to find a consensus on what intelligence is for many, but for you, what essential aspects can qualify someone as Intelligent?

A good prayer, Modesty, life Experience, Repertoire, the Ability to retain information, Is doubting yourself and thinking hard enough Are they enough to consider someone intelligent? tell me below.

1. Self-awareness
2. Agnosticism or Atheistic (most religious people lack self-awareness, they are also very close-minded)
 
1. Zero tattoos anywhere on their body. :feelsokman:
2. Is able to resist the MSM’s constant gas lighting and lies and correctly understands that 9/11 was an inside job, Covid vax is part of the Jew globalist oligarch masonic depopulation agenda, Jews aren’t our friends nor are they just another type of white person etc, etc. :society:
 
I solely judge intellect based on tests such as IQ tests and SAT scores. People who would disagree with me are probably mad that their scores are low

I view intelligence as being objective enough in all roads of life, if you can set your ego apart from your understanding and your statements. Then you're more intelligent than most

Open mindedness to new ideas, a strong desire to learn, skepticism, self-awareness, and introspection. An inquisitive personality is a good indicator from my interactions I guess.

What the hell did you do to your avatar, I can't remember his face looking this grotesque, it looks like his face is warped to one side :feelskek:.

It's probably the camera angle. Angles really do make a difference.

In fact, although I don’t think being a religious necessarily makes you a non-aware.

Jesus Christ existing is a great example of a self-conscious man, don’t you think?

Thinking now, perhaps this is due to his omniscient nature..

Anyway, what I mean is that: for me, maybe there should be somewhere with self-conscious religious out there, but that turns out to be hard to see because of the masses of closed-minded religious, as you said above..

Does this mean that if I can separate my desires for selfish ends from decisions I need to come to make or from future speeches I have a certain degree of intelligence?
 
We need to define intelligence. For example, someone can be a genius in one field and complete retard when it comes to social interactions.
Socially, those with high IQ or brilliant knowledge/education are considered intelligent but they can fail at attracting females while some uneducated seemingly stupid ( no bookish knowledge ) guy can slay females by creating fake stories about himself.
I would prefer to be second type of guy ( minimum bookish knowledge and understanding how to get that he wants ).
 
Does this mean that if I can separate my desires for selfish ends from decisions I need to come to make or from future speeches I have a certain degree of intelligence?
Yes, if you can separate your ego from your decisions and views.

People usually don't like:

1_ Thinking.
2_ Unbiased opinions.

You wrote in your other post that you were studying for a physics degree. You're not low IQ :feelsjuice:
I am not using calculus currently in my physics course so I am dumber than your average physics freshman

objectivity despite your position in life,
critical thinking ability,
empathy,
wisdom despite their years (if young),
ability to predict and call events and trends before they occur (with a high %track record of success over time), ability to read people quickly (and predict how they will behave),
humour (requires you to synthesis information in a story like narrative that contains a kernel of truth).
 
Intelligence relates to different areas of study (particularly thd areas of study concerning human interest), and to personality traits that are commonly desired or admired by humans. But its unclear as to whether or not there's actually an objective standard for intelligence.

There are many subjects in the academic world, and one person who is well-versed in one subject can be a plain idiot in another subject. The thing about "intelligence" is that people seem to rank intellect on the basis of how much "significance" a subject or a characteristic has to human interest. For example, STEM subjects may be considered as more significant to human interest, than the study of sports, or anime, or drama, or rap music. Or a person who's extroverted and talkative with people, may be viewed as more intelligent than a person who's quiet and uninclined to socially engage with people (aka introverted)

Basically intelligence is usually measured through patterns in thought, and through percieved familiarity with certain areas of study. But because humans tend to not rank all areas of study (and personality traits) at the same level of "worth" or "significance" --- Some people may be considered more intelligent than others on the basis of personality traits, or their familiarity with a certain subject that's universally judged by humans as more "valuable" or more "important" than another subject.

yes this is why people are stating at a high frequency eg many posters, are valuing critical thinking, which is the application of thinking IN EVERY AREA INDISCRIMINATE OF THE SUBJECT, and other elements which can be applied universally, eg objectivity, detail orientated, wisdom, ability to predict events in different areas of life (eg ability to synthesis information in any given area not just one).

Also people who are truly intelligent have many of these facets together not just one in isolation and may lack only one out of the list i gave of 5 or 6 skills, you simply have to have many of these areas to be smart.

I completely agree though a person who spergs out in a highly valued high esteem and high status job or area think doctor or lawyer, HAS JUST ROTE LEARNED THEIR WAY TO "being seen" as high iq, but if they lack what i just said THEY ARE NOT HIGH IQ AND HAVE JUST AUTISMOD IN ONE AREA AND ARE DEFICIENT IN EVERY OTHER.

Yeah convergent thinking and divergent thinking.

Convergent thought means being able to remember and accurately recall information like a robot. Divergent thought means being creative, exploring the world of ideas and testing uncommon or new ways of doing things. With the possibility of making a new invention or discovery that is actually practical, and may be (or may not be) significance to human interest.

Convergent thinkers are like the "robotic" kind of smart. They know how to remember things and effectively apply their knowledge of things in relevent practical situations. But they are still "robots" who may lack critical thinking. They easily fall in line with normie mentality and comply with the status quo when it comes to certain topics that heavily depend on the conflict between :bluepill:, :redpill: and :blackpill: (e.g. religion, political philosophy, meaning of life, reasons for human attraction, reasons behind the emergence of certain patterns in human social activity)

Divergent thinkers are more open minded and tend to consider all possibilities when they are enlightened in any field of study. Hence divergent thinkers tend to be neutral in their observation of phenomena. And they always aim to draw the fairest or most logcal conclusions when all the relevant theories have been adequately explored in a certain area of study. Hence divergent thinkers will always identify with thr agnostic view, they would regard conscious life as almost certainly meaningless phenomenon, they would view human socialization as a possible psycho experiment or LARP orchestrated by an advanced system (e.g. simulation hypothesis, brain in a vat). Plus they will always try to rationalize any phenomena with the most impartial / founded explanation. Or they would admit they are uncertain and haven't fully made sense of it yet, in spite of the possible theories they may have already conceived to rationalize the identified phenomena.

The question over this in a meta way is, WHY ARE PEOPLE THAT CAN ROTE LEARN AND THINK LIKE A ROBOT GET REWARDED IN LIFE AND THE WORKPLACE OVER PEOPLE WHO CAN THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX BY AMALGAMATING DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND NOT THINK LIKE A ROBOT.

this is what occupies my mind a lot, i see this in life everywhere i look, socially, professionally the rote learning is greatly rewarded where people sperg out IN ONE AREA AND REPEAT THE SAME CYCLE OF ACTIVITIES AND CUSTOMS AND PROCESSES and earn high salaries while advancing nothing.

But yet someone who knows a lot about many areas but has not sperged out and gained nth numbers of qualification and "specialised" in one area, DOES NOT GET ANYWHERE NEAR THE SAME QUDOS OR LEVEL OF SUCCESS OR FINANCIAL REWARD OR STATUS

ABSOLUTELY BOGGLES MY MIND

Also for me this reveals that most people must be dumb by definition because not only do they do these actions but they VALUE THESE BEHAVIOURS SO HIGHLY AND ABOVE EVERY OTHER WAY OF THINKING

VERY SCARY

I think its because divergent thinkers are more likely to be ostracized or demonized by society.

Divergent thinkers are more likely than convergent thinkers, to challenge the status quo with new ideas. Normies hate it when the traditional mode of human activities (aka status quo) is challenged, unless its obvious the new idea has zero risk of causing damage to economic welfare / health of humans when the idea is tried and applied in relevent situation.

Divergent thinkers (specifically the ones with unpopular / unfamiliar ideas) tend to pose a greater threat to the state of affairs in society. I think its why divergent thinkers are more likely to be introverted or socially rejected than convergent thinkers.

The "mad scientist" of human history are standard example. They were all divergent thinkers by nature. But in spite of the significant contributions they made to advancement in human intelligence, they have all been harrassed, shamed, ostracized, villifed and sometimes lynched by normies.

Convergent thinkers are robotic and more likely to comply with society's standards, which makes it easier for them to be handled and controlled by leaders / elites of society. Convergent thinkers are programmed to obey whoever leads or directs them. Its easier to preserve status quo and state of affairs when the majority are convergent thinkers.

Divergent thinkers tend to go their own way and deviate from common beliefs which are supported by normies, which can be dangerous to society. Normies find it easier to patronize or stigmatize divergent thinkers by labelling them as "mentally ill", "weird" or "criminal", or they may just excluding them from being socially involved with people. Hence why convergent "robotic" thinkers have better pay jobs and receive more praise and validation in the social world, whereas divergent "creative" thinkers not so much.

Its easier to regulate the thoughts and behaviours of convergent thinkers than divergent thinkers, and its easier to preserve civilization and manage social relations, when majority of people are convergent thinkers that are oriented towards the same beliefs, the same ambitions and the same way of doing things.

If someone goes against societal norms, I assume they're intelligent.

For example, if someone doesn't smoke weed, do drugs, party, go to bars or clubs, use social media, dress like every other person, use popular slang etc. Then it's safe to assume they're at least intelligent enough to think for themselves instead of being a braindead sheep.
 
In fact, although I don’t think being a religious necessarily makes you a non-aware.
9 times out of 10 it does. The people who are open minded and say they are religious are usually individuals who could just as easily believe any other religion, so they aren't really all that religious, they just like some of the tenants of the faith, or it's really just about checking a box on a form for them.

For example, if I'm signing a form I'm still going to check Christianity as my faith regardless, because it's just more convenient and it keeps you from becoming a victim of other peoples biases (most of the world is religious, and Christianity is the dominant religion in the West).

There are a lot of contradictions in religion that someone who is a self aware deep thinker would never accept indefinitely.

Religions revolve around fear, with some threat of eternal torture to convince you to follow the doctrine. There is no logic behind the doctrine, it is purely fear driven, and if hell was taken out of religious writings, most people wouldn't even follow any rules in the religion.

Jesus Christ existing is a great example of a self-conscious man, don’t you think?
We don't even know if he existed, and I don't mean just historically (that's already been proven I think), I mean if the Jesus that had powers and was the son of God that existed.

Thinking now, perhaps this is due to his omniscient nature.
Once again, you are speaking as if this version of Jesus exists, and nobody has any proof of that.

Jesus the man = believable.

Jesus the son of God that had to let himself be killed so that God could forgive us for what Adam & Eve did in the Garden, that he actually wanted them to do because he put the tree of life and death there = not believable.

This was actually a good one, I think it's connected to what I listed as the #1 trait (self-awareness).

I also agree that self-awareness is a big indicator of intelligence.
 
How to be self aware
Just do a lot of self-questioning and self-criticizing. But in my opinion, self-awareness and intelligence can't exist without each other. So if you lack self-awareness, it's because you lack general intelligence.

In other words, if you're not already questioning and criticizing yourself to an exceptional degree, it's because you're not questioning or criticizing ANYTHING to an exceptional degree.

How well they perform a task.

You don't need virtues to be intelligent.

2. Is able to resist the MSM’s constant gas lighting and lies and correctly understands that 9/11 was an inside job, Covid vax is part of the Jew globalist oligarch masonic depopulation agenda, Jews aren’t our friends nor are they just another type of white person etc, etc. :society:

Usage of proper grammar and English terminology ensures that you can convey the purpose of your statements efficiently. Why would you assume that an individual is attempting to convey their intelligence? Such an assumption could cause someone to believe that you are simply attempting to avoid constructing a proper argument during a debate.

Ah yes, the typical argument regarding "Vocabulary" is equivalent to a significant degree of intelligence. If we consider the two categories of intelligence, "Crystallized"(The ability to memorize and recall information) and "Fluid"(The innate ability to reason logically independent of complete information.), It soon becomes apparent that although utilizing terms with greater complexity does not necessary indicate a greater degree of "Fluid" intelligence, It does indicate an increased degree of "Crystallized" knowledge, which indirectly improves "Fluid" intelligence itself and promotes further cognitive function. If you find the idea of someone utilizing appropriate terminology they prefer on a website as "repulsive", I'd highly suggest that you cease to read their responses.

"He's smarter than all of us put together." That's certainly not true. All individuals have a varying degree and capacity of intelligence simply because we are different genetically and thus perceive the world differently, there's plenty of subjects that other people are more proficient with than we may be, It doesn't make us inferior.

Science has essentially acted as a structure for many of the modern creations we have today, It's not necessarily about deciding a person's intelligence, It's an entire system divided into separate aspects to provide a system for research and categorization of various subjects. Neither Science nor Philosophy or "Art History" are entirely perfect and there's problems and controversy/division with all of those about something, however they all have their own positive benefits altogether and certain aspects can be used in combination.

"his language is still not as complex as anonys" My language use was never high in complexity or difficult to understand. Narcissistic adolescent schoolchildren merely misinterpreted as such and could not seem to believe that it was a simple matter of sentence structure. It is actually somewhat pitiful.
