Saving this for later use, rather than keep the tabs open for any longer:
Knowledge is the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity and is often gained through experience or association. In other words, it's what you already know.
Intelligence is the ability to learn or understand or deal with new or trying situations. In other words, it's the ability to successfully apply your knowledge.

So I wonder- would intelligence be figuring out how to successfully include tomato in a fruit salad?
Or maybe just going with the green salad instead.

But then the realization struck me -- a lot of the "smart" students at my university are perceived as intelligent for the same reason I am. It's easy enough to hide when everyone is concerned with titles and numbers.
