I don't think there's too much of a right or wrong answer.

But you definantly summarized it very well!!!

O space and time! now I see it is true, what I guess'd at,
What I guess'd when I loaf'd on the grass,
What I guess'd while I lay alone in my bed,
And again as I walk'd the beach under the paling stars of the morning.*

Here's a bit of it;

quote:

Intelligence is the method to join things together. An intelligent person is very synthetical. He always looks for a higher whole, because the meaning is always in the higher whole. He always looks for something higher in which the lower is dissolved and functions as a part, functions as a note in the harmony of the whole, gives its own contribution to the orchestra of the whole but is not separate from it. Intelligence moves upwards, intellect moves downwards. Intellect goes to the cause.

Yes, that Osho passage is pretty awesome. Such a cool dude. I remember reading something similar - maybe in "Tantric Transformation". A friend told me recently "we are as intelligent as we need to be". I thought that summed it up pretty good. I'm still trying to figure out the formula for intelligence, like TINK said. But I think there's something further. What about imagination? Maybe that's the ability part, but I thik its pretty important as it allows you to see the problem more clearly and from different angles, and could help in determining paths to solutions. An Einstein quote I love and quote often is "Imagination is more important than knowledge". I twist it a little and say it's more important than memory, as this pretty much stores the knowledge, and my memory's just crap.
