Default Re: What is the nature of intelligence?

[ QUOTE ]

I think the application of knowledge is just as important in quantifying intelligence as learning. there are plenty people who do well in school but can't apply what they've learned.

I would argue that this example isn't learning. These people you speak of have an ability to regurgitate information, but not to apply it. To me learning includes the ability to apply the information, if you can't do that you haven't really learned anything.
