We can define as an intelligent person the human being who learns to be happy at all times with what he does, that is, someone emotionally stable and who is capable of constantly motivating himself.
Said person is capable not only through reasoning but through self-control and internalization, the resolution of the conflicts that life presents, taking each problem as challenges that must be overcome.
The intelligent person knows how to self-monitor, for the welfare of himself and others, what is proper to a person who has consciously learned to control his emotions and not someone who can stand out for his skills in letters or science.
There is talk that the human being has many types of intelligence, but none of them is as important as the one related to the emotional aspect. That is, intelligence linked to emotions is much more authentic than any other type of intelligence (or what can be known as talents, abilities or abilities), because it is able to perceive more deeply not only your own emotions but those of others .
In that sense, the intelligence measured by the tests of C.I (intellectual coefficient) which is an ability, let's say, "academic" is limited mostly to the teaching field, to a reference to vocational skills. The qualities that C.I measures are usually innate but can not in any way qualify a person as intelligent or not.
Intelligent people are basically people who know how to "live well", which as they said "self-monitor" their emotions and enjoy the most of every moment that life offers, with the main condition of not hurting anyone.
An intelligent person usually has a high or medium C.I, but surely there can be many cases where they can have a low C.I and still can be considered as such. We must consider that there are many intelligent men who can be considered "geniuses" and whose IQ is low, and that is simply due to the fact that their intellectual interests are framed mainly in a certain field of action often abstracting by own decision of the environment That surrounds them.
The C.I tests also measure the general culture of a person and although it is ideal for a person to have a good theoretical framework, it does not guarantee intelligence, nor does it guarantee having certain psychomotor skills or being a genius in physics or mathematics. A person who has all this, but who does not have emotional stability, who does not know how to empathize with others at all and who is indifferent to the suffering of others, no matter what the tests say, is not an intelligent person.
