intelligence vs knowledge

[SoNG-Of-SiLeNCe]

Not really. As you can see many people will be making their own inputs and interpretations. It is a very wide subject after all.

so basically this thread is pointless now?

ugh....

nope thank you for the clarification.

EDIT:

adding this to original post quoted by you since no one understands anything i say and tends to overthink it.
Glad I could help :)
What you said though was basically what i said in my essay.
( i doubt you believe me though since people view me as a heartless and evil person on here....)
I have no reason to disbelieve you until what you said has been disproven :)

what are your thoughts on it being changed to a general discussion? i am afraid that getting into topics like creativity in terms of SCV would be an inferno.
Trolls will be trolls. Let's let thinky people be thinky though?

Knowledge/wisdom have little, if nothing to do with intelligence other than the fact intelligence aids in their acquisition and possibly their subsequent application. The two are separate entities. I have to side with my colleague Dr. darkrhythm on this one.

The issue is probably muddled a bit by the concept of "tactical intelligence" which erroneously labels information relevant to military or governmental applications as "intelligence". So I'm not gonna fault anyone for making the mistake but I am gonna say "no.".

I've always defined intelligence as someone's ability to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar contexts. An intelligent person can think quickly and logically, relate ideas to situations, communicate effectively, recognize patterns, and minimize the amount of work required to overcome obstacles. Knowledge is simply a tool for the intelligent.

Many people seem to think these two terms are synonyms, which is why so many doctors and engineers are unqualified: Knowledge was stressed for their entire education instead of intelligence and problem solving. This analogy also works for SC, and really for any context in life. You'll see people cramming up frames and combos, but in the end they're just scrubs that know a lot about the game because they are not intelligent (or simply don't use their intelligence).

Came across this little thread just now... I don't know if it's still of immediate interest, just thought you might want to take a look.
