“Intelligence is like underwear. It is important that you have it, but not necessary that you show it off.” Everyone is born with the potential to be intelligent rather than being born with equal intelligence. Intelligence can be defined as ones capacity for knowledge or it can be more generally described as the ability to perceive information and retain it. Some believe that it has nothing to do with knowledge but imagination. Intelligence can look like a straight A report card, a monkey doing math, or a plant being able to sense environmental changes and adjust themselves accordingly to ensure self-preservation. A border collie is smart, attentive, and is able to retain information; therefore a border collie is an intelligent animal. An example

It is hard to say definitively which breed of dog is the most intelligent, but we can get an overall picture of which breeds generally seem to be intelligent and which ones tend to be a bit slower in the head. Dumb or smart, dogs make great companions, so don 't think too much of this! Australian Cattle Dogs are one of the smartest dog breeds out there.

In the readings Hidden Intellectualism, Gerald Graff and Blue-Collar Brilliance, Mike Rose both authors talk about intelligence, and what we understand intelligence to mean. Graff’s uses the words “book and street smarts” to explain his meaning of intellect. Rose uses his mothers and uncles job life experience to explain his.

I read Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis, which focuses on fifteen dogs with human intelligence. They have been granted human intelligence by the gods, and every dog uses their human intelligence in a different way. Some use it to overpower weaker creatures, some use it to create art and experiment with new things and some don’t use it. In this novel, using an expert’s intelligence is essential for success. So, I chose the character, Benjy, who starts out not using his human intelligence.
The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of canine but with the feistiest character. They have a very charismatic little canine; they need a firm handler as they can be overprotective.

Mike Rose disagrees with the assumption that “Intelligence is closely associated with formal education” (Mike, 247). Formal education does not always measure the level of intelligence of a person. Education as something people can gain not only in school, but every day of their lives. We should be learning from our experiences, and apply this knowledge to our everyday lives. Wisdom should not be looked at as just
What do you think it means to be intelligent? Being intelligent means having self-awareness and understanding, using logic and critical thinking, and having the ability to learn. This is shown in the novel by Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing, John Stienbecks novella, Of Mice and Men, and Richard Connell’s fictional short story, “The Most Dangerous Game”. In the book Where the Crawdads Sing, Kya uses her intelligence all throughout her life to survive on her own in the marsh.
In the novel Lord Of The Flies, by WIlliam Golding, Piggy is characterized as intelligent. For example Piggy is shown as intelligent in LOTF such as in chapter 1 when Piggy told Ralph who had the conch that, “ ‘ We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us ‘ “ (Golding 16). This is an excellent way of showing that Piggy is intelligent as he thought of something Ralph didn’t, which is a large foreshadow of what is to come.
Pit-Bulls are known as the most dangerous breed of dog in America. Many pit bulls have been killed by law because they have attacked and/or killed people and were deemed too dangerous to the public. Pit bulls aren’t naturally aggressive, the reputation of the breed, their experiences, and their owners not properly training them, make them aggressive. People raise bigger dogs to be aggressive because of their size and appearances.
Having an opportunity of practical intelligence is important for achieving success because people can change the situation to their desire by using practical intelligence. Even though asserting oneself is also an important requirement to succeed by appealing with confidence, better results of asserting yourself are guaranteed through capability of practical intelligence which is the ability to knows what, when, and how to say.

For example, there is a case of Chris Langan and Robert Oppenheimer in outliers that shows the importance of practical intelligence. Even though they both have high IQ, Robert Oppenheimer succeed, but Chris Langan does not.
Intellectualism is the factor of being intellect or intelligent. The idea of what it means to be educated can be interpreted many different ways by different people. Some think it’s having a 4.0 and going to Harvard, while others believe in the idea of having common sense. In the essay, “Hidden Intellectualism,” Gerald Graff reflects how lack of education is viewed negatively in society. On top of that, a question also lies what it means to educated.

It's the ability to comprehend that common sense that some lack. It has been theorized that people with higher IQ's have a lower ability to comprehend common sense, in the case of Albert Einstein, who, rumor has it, couldn't tie his shoes but was able to work complex mathematical equations. On the other hand, we have the cast of the “Jackass” movies that seem to have neither intelligence nor common sense. There are also the cases of individuals who couldn't read a book beyond how to beat Koopa, yet seem to be capable of crossing a main street in the busy part of town during rush hour without getting assaulted by a passing
