Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi David, I liked your musings on intelligence. You may have heard of MENSA (www.mensa.org), an international organization or club where the only condition for a person to be accepted is a high IQ, to be demonstrated by passing a battery of intelligence tests. Though MENSA has made it a point to study all the different forms of intelligence they never seemed to be able to come up with a stringent definition of "intelligence". They finally settled for an indirect definition, a workaround you might say, defining intelligence as "that which is measured by certain standard intelligence tests." So it seems to me you are very correct in saying that intelligence cannot be defined.
