First, yes, I recognize intelligence is a vast and varied thing. But, I know that YOU know what I’m asking. Second, this could be answered any way you want. Third and finally, if you’re going to tell me to read more, recommend specific literature.

Checking on others comfort or thoughts. Looking out for their friends. Being nice to service staff. I measure intelligence based on how they treat people close to them. And how they treat people who they would gain nothing from.
Seems like the same answer I got when I asked about “good” people
Not for me, but for many people (especially on the internet) intelligence is the same thing as being good. I probably would have given a different answer for that if I saw the thread
Reasonable
Your turn! What do you consider an intelligent person? (This thread is Aristotle-coded BTW)
I’d echo some of the things said. Simple list would be, curiosity, knowing when you dont know/being able to admit it, ability to speak well (not necessarily tied to socializing but being able to communicate thought/ideas/theories easily), ability to explain complex topics in simple terms, speed in which you can learn new topics and ability to memorize information. The list definitely goes on but thats a pretty good summary of my thoughts.
Good answers, I hadn’t considered social skills kind of are intelligence
Yeah I don’t necessarily mean ability to be charismatic. Moreso just that they can communicate whatever their discipline of expertise is well.
