My definition is of intelligence not dissimilar to my definition of sentience, in the sense that to be intelligent, you must possess the capability of experiencing and/or understanding emotion. I believe this idea is heavily explored in the sci-fi fiction book 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' by Phillip K. Dick and I found the ideas explored in this story very interesting for this reason.

The ability to make decisions is also a factor in measuring intelligence, using critical thinking to find the best possible way to go about what you are trying to achieve.

Intelligence is the ability to learn based on experiences. Using those experiences, to perform actions and gain new experiences and the cycle continues. A key part about intelligence is that it can be trained. An intelligent entity learns from a set of experiences and can be trained based on those experiences to perform actions/tasks.

Intelliegence means the accumulation and recollection of semantic knowledge of the world around you. This may include but not limited to, information about the immediate person near you, or the community, location, state that you may reside in, or information about a certain topic or subject that can be used to teach or be used in casual or non-casual conversation. However, the recollection of such information that is learnt, and being able to use this information where it may be presumed, is needed, is the display of intelligence. Although this does draw lines between intelligence and memory, intelligence may differ as it would center around semantic knowledge, rather than personal details, as semantic knowledge and the use / daily application of it, can represent some sort of intelliegence.
The different functions of an intelligent entity, includes being able to learn, process, and create actions based on prior stored information. This ability to display these 3 actions will allow an intelligent entity to create actions, learn from their mistakes and store this information for future use, so that they can perform better next time (utilising stored information).
Yet, judging on whether an entity is intelligent may differ on who is judging the entity, as the term of intelligence may differ slightly from person to person, but as a basis, an intelligent entity should be able to (reiterating what was said above) create actions, learn external information, and process/store this information for future use.

# data[].attributes.body
Intelligence is gaining, storing, and using knowledge. This comes from problem solving. Every intelligent thing that wants to survive needs to be able to problem solve.
For example if we break to down: An animal that is hungry and needs to find food. The problem is the animal is hungry, if the animal doesn't get food it will starve. It test different potential foods through taste, sight, and smell and determines what it is able to eat. The problem is solve. The animal then knows that it's going to get hungry again. That is a new problem. The animal solves this problem by locating more of the food it consumed, by finding an area that has a high supply of the food and making a habitat there.
it uses the knowledge of the first time it got hungry to recognize it would get hungry again and the problem of finding food won't arise again, so it can focus on other problem to it's survival like shelter or reproduction.
This is however very basic intelligence, that all life forms have, humans have a more complex intelligence. This is because we have the ability to store more  knowledge, and so do other animals like dolphins. However focusing on humans. Our intelligence extends to more effective communication, which allowed humans to pass on knowledge so the young don't have to start from scratch. Which lead to colonies and culture and buildings for a better habitat. Eventually expanding out to the world we know today.
Still today we gain intelligence through adapting and solving the latest problem that have arrived, like diseases and climate, all so human can survive.

One of the most important things about human intelligence is the awareness that we have, not only the awareness of our existence and place on the earth, but awareness of what is right and wrong, of common sense and how to deal with different scenarios.

To answer this I dug down to the core of which beings are intelligent. Obviously I am intelligent. Obviously the fauna is intelligent. I'd argue trees are intelligent as they interact and change their environment. Okay, so if you impact and change the environment you are intelligent. But that doesn't work. The waves and the wind arn't intelligent and they are the processes resbonsible for errosion. Maybe intelligence is the choice, or a reaction, which alters the environment. Are bacteria intelligent then? At a macro level along the course of the higher human intellect, Yuval Noah Harari in his book "Sapiens" provides a fascinating idea that humans advance intellect comes from our ability to not only communicate nouns, but our ability to predict, and think in histories and futures.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a couple of ideas on what makes up intelligence. unlike consciousness, intelligence is the ability to extrapolate predictions, ideas and conclusions from past and current events and senses. while just like consciousness, intelligence also allows for the ability to actively observe and perceive our own existence. In a way, intelligence could be considered a measurement of how conscious someone is

To me, intelligence is based on ones ability to take in and assess information and how well they apply this knowledge in various situations. To be intelligent is to be constantly learning and growing.

# data[].attributes.body
When I think of intelligence, the first thing that springs to mind is how little children and babies always start out not knowing how to do anything - like walking speaking a language, and putting food in their mouths. Over time though, they learn how to do all of these by trying it themselves and watching and learning from others. I think intelligence functions on a very similar foundation to this. I don't see it as an abstract idea or concept, I see it more as a process. It involves constantly receiving information from different sources, and doing something significant with it. In the case of a child learning how to walk: when they trip because they stepped on a toy, they know for next time that they need to avoid the toy. That is intelligence.

"I think, therefore I am" - Platon
This quote explains intelligence to me, and is such a simple quote that covers a big existential question. I would say that intelligence is the ability to reflect on different problems or cases and come up with an independent answer.

Intelligence seems to be the "grey area" connections between ideas. It is the ability to process hard to describe, nuanced ideas that are not black and white. It is what allows us to make infrences about the world or unrelated ideas without be explicitly told or shown.

# data[].attributes.body
A cognitive characteristic used by an agent to operate in an environment. In the general sense this is anthropocentric and discriminates on the basis of being able achieve objectives that the human observer believes are appropriate. In the specific case of humans, this characteristic is most axially aligned with beliefs about sameness in rationality.

# data[].attributes.body
An entity that absorbs information and makes calculated decisions based on the information. Intelligence is not only to have information but also on how its used and processed. To deem an entity intelligent, the actions must be liable on reasons from the information acquired. For example the

information: petrol prices increase
action: ride a bike
reason: save money on fuel

The retention and application of knowledge may be a general enough definition to ascribe to the many contexts in which we refer to intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
To me intelligence is being self aware. For humans, sentience, being able to know and understand our own feelings and desires makes us intelligent. Other creatures which are sentient/internally self aware can be considered intelligent too.

Intelligence is when an entity has the ability to think independently and adjust to the specific circumstance with a well-planned approach. Normally when something inhibits intelligence, it has advanced abilities that can improve and acquire knowledge to again change upon the specific circumstance.

Intelligence to me is the ability to recognise, respond to and predict the behaviour of patterns.
The major function of an intelligent entity is to perceive and respond to patterns in its physical time and space.
An entity is intelligent if it can use patterns to successfully accomplish its goals.

intelligence is a measure of various cognitive abilities such as the ability to comprehend and process new information quickly, good long term memory. engage in abstract thinking, having good spatial awareness and coming up with novel solutions to complex problems & applying learned information in unique ways.

# data[].attributes.body
What it means to be intelligent is a complex question with many areas of potential research and consideration to be accounted for. The term is illusive and a specific practical definition may be possible to define while a broad understanding of the term may prove illusive. Certainly there are areas broadly deemed to be intelligence, memory for example, that can be performed with greater accuracy by a computer than a human. This is also not to suggest that the computer is sentient or self aware which is often a key element of discussion in Artificial Intelligence

I think there are different versions of intelligence. Some people are more astute at mathematics while others are more proficient in music. Critical thinking and adapting to one's environment are important aspects of itelligence to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Intelligence is the ability to recieve information, process and interpret it then make an action based on that interpretation. An intelligent entity should be able to interpret input and choose the best possible outcome and complete it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most basic definition of intelligence is the ability to receive and interpret data for use in the future. Intelligence comes from the ability to take in information which can then be applied to knowledge and skills later on. There are many different forms of intelligence including but not limited to abstract, logic, creative, critical thinking and problem solving, which all have their unique applications, values and importance. Therefore it is possible for someone (or something) to be intelligent in one way but not another or to have different degrees of intelligence across the different areas.

# data[].attributes.body
For me intelligence means the ability to be able to communicate, understand, emphatise, to be able to learn new skills, information and problem solve. For me it also means to always improve and overcome the mistakes that we make as it would demonstrate that we have learnt something from what we have done.

I think the different functions of a intelligent entity could be taking on a action to achieve a goal that we may set for ourselves or being able to just to make a simple decisions.

I would judge an entity if it is intelligent or not is how it is able to communicate with things and its environment, how its able to adapt and make its own decisions in order to do things or get what they want

# data[].attributes.body
To put it simply, intelligence is the idea of being able to evaluate any given environment to correctly extract necessary skills and abilities to thrive in said environment. A higher intelligence means said skills are extracted quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
Intelligence in some contexts can mean the ability for a system to take in information from the external environment and 'properly' utilise this information when responding to future tasks or executing certain functions. In other contexts it may mean something entirely different as it is not perfectly understood, probably because it may have much to do with consciousness as well, which seems to be even less well understood.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a very basic explanation of intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, act and then reflect after receiving stimuli.

Intelligence is a broad term that reflects one's ability to process, respond and adapt to situations. Reading the multitudes of inputs that we receive in life and in turn responding to it. This isn't limited to academic purposes, stretching to aspects of life such as social and emotional awareness.

This is quite an interesting thought, is the ability to think in and of itself intelgent? If we take a “dumb” person and compare them to a leaf are they “smarter??” Or is the leaf in its own right also smart? Do u have to be able to communicate and prove intelligence? But how do u prove it? Threw a series of tests? But everything acts differently when its being observed so how do we know if a test is a true measure of potential. Is having the potential to do great things intelligence? Google defines intalagence as “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.” But being /able/ to is not the same as actually /getting/ the knowledge and applying it uk? So like if just having the potential to learn new things and new skills, is intelligence thennnnnnnnn??? But we know intuitively that theres more to that, AnWAYS I’ll just go round and round in circles as i don’t have an answer
