Intelligence from Wordsmyth:
“In an organizational context, knowledge is the sum of what is known and resides in the intelligence and the competence of people.”
Intelligence, indeed, has many components, but it can also be seen as a process.
- attention
- memory
- pattern recognition
- discretion
- synthesis
- manipulation
- usage
- speed
- recall
- interpretation
- implementation
- evaluation
Not only is intelligence complex, it is as broad as it is tall.
“E=mc^2” has become something of a badge of intelligence although it displays nothing but information. It was arrived at, however, using nothing but pure intelligence (and lotsa’ chalk.)
In AI terms, intelligence means accomplishment of a mission. This implies that success is an integral part of intelligence. Truly, if it didn’t work, it wasn’t an intelligent conclusion to have reached, or supposition to begin with.
The only thing necessary for something which is wrong to be accepted is agreement (faith, consensus, belief.)
“What a misfortune it is that we should thus be compelled to let our boys’ schooling interfere with their education!” –Grant Allen
Genius describes one who knows more about a particular subject (or subjects) than almost everybody else in the world, or is seen to. The knowledge behind the intelligence to put it all together is very vertical in nature. It needs to be. Like a focused beam of light, it can reach farther. In this case, a narrower base builds a taller tower. A genius can often experience serious failings in other areas, though. Genius is relative.

Wisdom is something else altogether. Wisdom has more to do with judgement.
“Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.” -Evan Hardin
Ignorant simply means not knowing. Everyone has a similar capacity to learn, it is simply that we are not all interested by the same things, and so if I am ignorant in your particular field of expertise, you view me as a moron; but you are equally ignorant in my field, and so who is stupid? Both of us? Neither? Remember that we all think we are good drivers yet we think most others are not.
And then there’s just looking smart.

Dumb – not being able to say and having nothing good to say are seen as equivalent… but that is another subject, altogether.
