   intelligence - the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills   
      
   One translation - A person is capable of following/executing what was   
   learned.  But, a different way of understanding a topic may be   
   forbidden.  Point - A textbook "thinker" only understands/accepts the   
   textbook view.   
      
   Example - "Joseph Lister found a way to prevent infection in wounds   
   during and after surgery," but his view was initially rejected.
