A term used to describe the potencies such abilities as application of knowledge, amount of logic, creativity (to some extent), memory (to a lesser extent), and general comprehension, among animals. Intelligence is, often, something lacking in most human beings. Intelligence is relative to one person; what you and I, for instance, perceive as stupid may contradict eachother, or vary in degrees.
Today, people often confuse knowledge and determination (especially in academics) with intelligence. Understand; these are NOT the same things. Knowledge is, of course, the amount of information a person mentally contains. Determination is, naturally, the want to go to often extreme measures to achieve your aims or goals. While intelligence is useless without knowledge, the contrary - knowledge without intelligence - is equally useless.
Much of the time, IQ tests are associated with intelligence. While these are, currently, the most accurate "measurements" of intelligence (if properly executed), they are by no means definitive. They don't consider creativity, abstract logic, or any other trait generally considered intelligent. Still, intelligent people tend to receive higher scores than their mediocre counter-parts. One must also take into account that often times, things like vocabulary are used in such tests. In English, vocabulary, often times, requires definitive knowledge of Latin, German, or French, if not the English language, due to the roots not being absolutely apparent in all cases.

Get the intelligence mug.To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.
Ties in well with virtue signaling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.
The intention (as well as virtue-signaling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.

My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signaling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.

Get the Ghetto Intelligence mug.A phase used by English MC Lady Sovereign to describe herself. One of many catchy self descritive phrases used by Sov. It is refering to the fact that she didn't finish school but shown an intelligence besides Math, History (all that school shit). She has used the phrase in the songs Public Warning and So Human and writen on one of her signature custom slogan T-shirts. A more well-known one is "The biggest midget in the game." That's been used in Many songs and also on a T-shirt. Personally I think Sov Rox!!!!!
