Everyone can acquire knowledge and make use of it but few get to be creative when using it, few get to think abstractly to make use of it, few get to be skilled with it and few use it in a new way, and that where been intelligent comes in
The ability to apply knowledge skillfully, the ability to be creative with thinking, and most importantly a mental acuteness
Being intelligent is about adapting to changes, being curious to learn other things, and being skillful, it about questioning everything you know and not thinking you know everything without questioning
The intelligent ones are flexible one with thinking and thoughts, and the problem solvers, you can say the ones that know a lot about random facts an example is a type of student that solves math equations on their head with accuracy and speed of light
Knowledge is impacts in students in school at the same time and only a few get to be skillful about applying it in tests and exams thereby fetching them good grades
The ability to be skillful in applying the knowledge given and getting good grades is enough reason to say getting good grade in school is a measure of intelligence
The ability to think abstractly in exams, and to be flexible in thinking earn a good grade and can be a measure of how intelligent one is.
Intelligence is not something attending school to own or going for extra classes
Intelligence is all about being skillful and creative, it's not something to be taught or with a manual to learn
it's about thinking outside the box and coming up with solutions, it's about thinking deep
it's about being observant, it's about being curious about answers, and having a good working memory
We all can be intelligent when we are creative, flexible with thinking, and learn new things
Think outside the box, be intelligent
