What is intelligence?

Till now we have used the word intelligence in a very particular way. The one who is able to solve a problem in mathematics we call him intelligent, the one who is able to crack the entrance exam we call him intelligent, right? Such things. The one who score high on IQ Tests, we call him intelligent, “Oh! 140? Very intelligent.”

Intelligence is not a skill, intelligence is not something you gather with time, intelligence is not concentration.

If you practice solving a particular type of question for a long period of time, for two years, for three years, you will become very skillful at solving those questions, that is not intelligence.

You become resolute, that I want to clear a particular entrance exam, the tests​ be in mathematics, physics, chemistry and you know what kind of questions are asked and you start practicing those questions and you keep practicing, practicing, practicing and ultimately you will find that you are doing well. This is not intelligence, please get rid of this confusion, this is not intelligence, this is just skill.

This is not intelligence, this is just repetition and repetition and repetition. And you have repeated the thing so many times, that now you can do the task in less time, without worrying, in a particular way, which you called as the correct way, in some sense you have conditioned yourself…
