Indeed communication is important to have thoughts deciphered by others coherently. However I don't think intelligence is such a clear-and-cut subject based on how effectively communicates. Someone could ineffectively communicate, but could do advanced calculus from his head. Someone who builds machines. One who is analytical in nature. I liken it to a window. You see a glimpse, but you don't see everything in the room.
on another note one of the reasons i got fired from a job was that over the company im, i used internet speak and my team leader couldnt understand it and was too pround to ask what it meant.
in intelligence, it is widely regarded that there are 7 types of intelligence. these are;
1. Linguistic
Enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.
2. Logical-Mathematical
Interested in patterns, categories and relationships. Drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.
3. Bodily-kinesthetic
Process knowledge through bodily sensations. Often athletic, dancers or good at crafts such as sewing or woodworking
4. Spatial
Think in images and pictures. May be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing, building things or daydreaming.
5. Musical
Often singing or drumming to themselves. Usually quite aware of sounds others may miss. Often discriminating listeners.
6. Interpersonal
Leaders among their peers, who are good at communicating and who seem to understand others' feelings and motives.
7. Intrapersonal
May be shy, but are very aware of their own feelings and are self motivated.
so whilst you could be a brilliant speller and linguist, this could be your only peak and the others may lack. so overall intelligence is low.
the best would be a good rating in all, with personal tendencies leaning towards certain types that are your best.
but our only way to convey information is through text, speech, anunciation, phrase, etc. so it may well be a good grounding for basis of the others.
not true in all cases, but a good way to start to asses someone

To me, that is forgivable.. for anyone else who chooses to remain uneducated.. well they're just plain ignorant.. I am not one to talk though, I dropped out of highschool..:smokin:
Not speaking for myself, some people have invited too many opportunities into their lives to have time to go to school, which is difficult to manage. I've known mothers and fathers with a husband or wife that were in their mid 20's and in the military working, raising children, and taking courses in college. There are those with interests that exceed a vulnerability they would rather not believe.Quote:
