I have heard it said that there over 100 different different categories that somebody could be said to have a natural aptitude-intelligence for. But I would have to imaging that there is an equal number of things that people could be stupid about.

To me, there are three markers for intelligence that take precedence over all others. I will rank them in order of importance.

1. To be intelligent, you have to know that intelligence is good.
2. To be intelligent, you have to be willing to think for yourself and come to conclusions that may go against what you were taught.
3. To be intelligent, you have to take the word of people who KNOW! I will give you a couple pictures and quotes from people who's knowledge of what they were talking about is far superior to any knowledge that you may have. For one reason, they were there! One is of General Patton. The other is of a Nobel Laureate who was a Russian historian and novelist.
