Intellect

[sillypumpkins]

Personally, I would not say that intelligence is a by-product of wisdom or understanding.  For example, I have seen people whom not many would call intelligent demonstrating very great wisdom.  It's a humbling demonstration.

the perception people (or many) have of what an intelligent person looks like, is in fact a distortion (and often ive found it to be so grossly distorted!) and so im not sure i would give much weight to what "many" people have to say about who is intelligent and who isn't :p especially as someone who has gone through the american school system............

anyways.........
