Exactly, Z! That's the point I was trying to make, too! There's crap loads of stuff I've forgotten since school, but we also learn stuff after leaving school too. Alot of what we learn is school is pointless trivia, but like somebody said earlier school is to excercise your brain, get it working in different ways.

I agree that intelligence should be classified your ability to understand and to comprehend. And I agree that it's not really quantifiable, either.

In todays society it's almost as if your amount of money and material possessions dictates how clever you are. A poor person is looked down upon, and a rich person is looked up to. If you can do well in todays society than your opinion counts for more... so does that mean by todays standards intelligence is measured in material wealth?
