Intelligence, the way I perceive it now (as opposed to my school days) is the way our minds take in information, process it and develop thoughts around it. Not your vocabulary, not your taste in music, not the flashy scientific concepts you've managed to remember. It's the way your brain manages and processes information provided to it.
My brain is not that good at that, at all. I know some big words, I've memorized parts of history, I like to talk big picture cosmic stuff - but it's all a show, really. It's all born out of mild fascination and turned into a performance.
There are different ways to interpret intelligence though. And now I'm hoping board members more intelligent than I will discuss this and provide some insight.
