According to Merriam's Webster Dictionary, intelligence is the ability to learn or understand things or to deal with new or difficult situations. A special test is conducted to represent your intelligence based on your score and it is determined through IQ (Intelligence quotient). many famous people are known to have higher IQ's like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and other geniuses. When we say intelligence, our traditional definition of that is someone who is knowledgeable, expert and a good analyzer and has a higher IQ. Intelligence also refers in cognitive function of the body.
But intelligence nowadays, is not only based on mental state but also in the emotional state. Emotional Intelligence according to www.mindtools.com, it is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling,what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people.
Like IQ, it is determined through EQ (emotional quotient). Therefore, intelligence is more than in mental aspect, it is also felt in the heart. ❤
