In business... operational experience based on the core capabilities required to do the role plus have they have owned their own development. There may be a minimum academic requirement depending on the role.
Outside of business... I don't |

I base it on common sense. There are extremley clever people on paper who have no common sense whatever.. Not saying that they are not clever but it's common sense that we use in everyday living. I have no formal qualifications but that does not mean I am stupid I learnt from personal experiences as well as training and speaking with people who have that formal qualification |

i suppose it depends what kind of intelligence you mean, i have a friend thats a university lecturer and has two doctorates but tho i love her to bits when it comes to every day life and common sence shes as thick as they come
I suppose theres different types of intelligence, to me just someone you can hold a decent conversation with will do me  |

Some people come out with some things that make's one wonder at the thought processes behind it.
On holiday a couple of years ago, Siren and I were waiting at a set of traffic lights and we were chatting when the lights changed to green. Siren tried her utmost to communicate to me that I should set off but for some inexplicable reason she couldn't say, "The lights have changed."
What she came out with was, "The lights are with you!," gesticulating like a weatherman on speed at the road ahead. |

Nicely put! We have a dear friend who wanted to become a Social Worker. She had no academic qualifications but would have been great at the job.. She decided that she wanted it so bad, she studied and became qualified.
Still the same person and she will readily admit that she mostly ignores the stuff she learned, but she applies common sense and has risen through the "ranks" and is now in charge of her own section of four teams!
Can't be doing with all this Corporate Speak crap! She said that was the hardest thing to pick up. Not to use, just to decipher!

To me intellience means
wise
the ability to be able to communicate with the mass on a level that everyone can understand.
common sense.
Paper qualifications means nothing to me, it just means that you have studied to different levels in a choosen subject. You could know everything there is to know about that subject and bugger all about anything else.
I dont need to know whether someone has 10 degrees to work out whether they are intelligent or not |

intelligence is an agility of the brain and thought working together. Think you can tell when chatting to someone how agile they are in this sense and education might develop it but cannot create it. |

"Common sense or 'smarts' is more important than academic intelligence for me.
But a blue chick with smarts and the knowledge of how to fix my quantum pocket fluff capacitor would be my dream girl."
if you keep the fluff free of radical debris you should not have any problem with your capacitator. Check it regularly. |
