Intelligence

(Lat. intelligent, from intellegere, to understand) The capacity of the mind to meet effectively — through the employment of memory, imagination and conceptual thinking — the practical and theoretical problems with which it is confronted. Intelligence is more inclusive than intellect which is primarily conceptual. See Intellect.

In Dewey (q.v.), intelligence is the basic instrument, to be contrasted with fixed habit, traditional customs, and the sheer force of political or bureaucratic power as means of settling social issues. — L.W.
