===Question: What is Intelligence?===

I learnt at university that intelligence is "the ability to apprehend
the relationship between things". I have yet to see a better, more concise
definition.

===Question: What is Intelligence?===

Answer: Intelligence is the process of differentiation. The more the process differentiations, the more likely we think of it as 'Highly Intelligent'. A bloodhound is much more intelligent at odors then we [[HumanAnimal]]s are. However, we feel we are much more intelligent overall to a bloodhound as we are capable of more differentiations.

===Question: What is Knowledge and how it is related to Intelligence?===

Answer: Knowledge is the processed data which results from the use of Intelligence.
