@zevinclark: Naval Ravikant once said, “The only true test of intelligence is whether you get what you want out of life.” And I honestly think that might be one of the most practical definitions of intelligence I’ve ever heard. Not because intelligence is selfish, but because the deepest thing most of us want is not status, applause, or more information. It is fulfillment. Peace. Alignment. Freedom. A life that actually feels like ours. Because what good is being smart on paper if your decisions keep producing a life you do not want to live in? What good is knowing everything if you cannot adapt, regulate your emotions, choose better relationships, discipline your desires, or tell the truth about what is no longer working? Intelligence helps you get what you want. Wisdom teaches you what is worth wanting. And maybe the real question is not “How smart are you?” Maybe the real question is, “Are your decisions producing the life you say you desire?”

Intelligence is the ability to learn, reason, and adapt. Wisdom is choosing goals worth pursuing. Character is repeatedly acting in accordance with those goals despite discomfort

Nah there’s too many systems in place that hold ppl back from a lot of things. You have to be very tenacious (and lucky) to overcome them.

A Simple Analogy
Think of driving with GPS:
* Knowledge is knowing how to drive.
* Spiritual intelligence is understanding the destination God wants you to reach.
* Wisdom is making the right turns to get there.

Getting what you want isn’t a question of intelligence it’s a question of focus and likeliness to get distracted. Ik we wanna be profound but we can’t just make up new meanings for words 😭

As a SAHM with a wonderful husband, my dream home, and beautiful kids- there are still people who are genuinely pissed I didn’t pursue a career and “wasted my potential.” As if I’m not exactly where I want to be.

I heard once: “Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put in a fruit salad”. 😂

Yes.
Resilience, emotional regulation, adaptability, discipline, critical thinking, reasoning, analytical, evaluating and creative skills define intelligence. The ability to apply your knowledge in real-life situations and make better judgement and decisions is part of being smart.

Well intelligence isn’t defined specifically by the first specified traits. The main three components of intelligence is the ability to learn, retain, and apply new information at a rapid rate.
