This topic came up for discussion when we did the lesson on Akbar and Birbal. I totally agree with this statement. Just because we know everything related to academic content, it doesn’t mean we have conquered intelligence itself! I think intelligence is far beyond academic intelligence.
Here’s an example. Let’s say you have mastered your previous academic test, and you think you know everything. One day, you go out to buy some vegetables. Now, you know how to handle money and how to speak properly due to your math and English. But what if a robber robbed you and took all your money? You don’t know what to do, because your syllabus hasn’t covered this!
Something similar (but not so dramatic) happened to me earlier and I got out of it, definitely by not using academic intelligence. In conclusion, I agree with the statement - intelligence covers way more than just academic intelligence.
