Should the intelligence and knowledge be treated differently? A person to be acknowledged as 'intelligent' in certain field must have a deep knowledge about that topic and vice-versa. Nobody comes into existence already knowing about Dijkstra's algorithm, s/he has to learn it actively.
- skowmunk 16y agoFrom some hard learnt life lessons, this is what I realized Its best to differentiate between: 1) inherent intelligence 2) knowledge 3) apparent intelligence (which I define as a product of inherent intelligence and one's accumulated knowledge) It benefited me the most when I focused more or less solely on knowledge accumulation and its usage than the other two. While evlauating others too, like prospective employees, I found it best to evaluate one's hunger to accumulate knowledge and readiness to apply it. Those, who focus mostly on their 'intelligence' I found it a pain to deal with them.
