That must have taken a while to write, whats with capitalizing the first letter? lol

Personally, I think someone is intelligent when they can figure out a solution to a problem through their own knowledge and reasoning, versus regurgitating **** they might have memorized in order to solve it. Someone whos open minded, willing to try new things, willing to take risk, thats intelligence imo.
